Im looking to buy tires soon and was wondering what is the widest tires that would fit on 14 inch Civic HX rims without tire bulge. I know 185's fit fine. Would I be able to run 195's with no tire bulge?

 

I'm running 205/60/14s, They're great. Never bottom out, and rides nice. I'd like to see if a 215/60/14 fits. If you want pics I can upload some.

I never knew u could even go that big.. I have 185's on my hx rims right now.. I think I'm gonna go a bit bigger tho when I get new tires.. which wont be for a while since mine are still in perfect condition

thats with a BF Goodrich Traction TA 205/60/14

 

well according to the auto-x forum you can fit 225 on 5 inch wide rims, so, if your fenders can fit it you can too have 225 i personally wouldnt go that wide...but i would get 195/55/14 for the hx rims...

 

Nice pic. keep um coming.

 

195/60 R14

 

Ditto on the 195-55-14. You get the increased width of a 195 with nearly the same size diameter as a 186-60-14. Problem I have with 195-60-14 is the larger sidewall changes the gearing somewhat.

Only problem with the 195-55-14 is there aren't a lot of choices. When my Bridgestone Re-71 (discontinued) wear out, I'll be looking for a set of Toyo T1-S.

Alternately the Dunlop sp8000 is popular. You can also get them in Kumho v700 or a couple different Hoosiers.
