I'm trying to come up with a definte answer. Can you put 17X7.5 rims with 205/40/R17 tires on a 95 civic sedan with stock offset and stock suspension set up with no problems as rubbing or clearance problems? Or do i need something else to work better? I need all the advice i can get. Thanks!

 

youll rub when you turn hard cuz they are really really wide

 

Stock offset???

You'd want the correct offset. I have 17x7.5 on my civic with 45mm offset and only had minimal rub on the inside wheel well.

 

Ok, what would be a right size wheel and tire for a 95 civic. 15's or 16's what size tire?

 

i prefer 15s. get some good light weight 15s and youre good to go

 

Depends on what you are trying to do. I like 15's because they are lighter, look better on 92-95's and are cheaper.

 

Anyone have any pics of an eg hatch with some 16's? Doesn't matter which rim or what style, I'm trying to get an idea of what 16's would look like. Be sure to post tire sizes, too!

 

just browse hondashowoff.com and you'll find a million pics.

 

you wont rub I have 17x7.5 on my 94 civic and it does not rub it did when i had 17/50/280 on my car i would rub when i hit bumps but w/ the right tire size you WILL be fine

 

so what's the right tire size for 17x7.5's then? what are you running that doesn't rub. I'd love to go with 17's but I had mind set on 16's due to the rubbing issue.

 

16 inch rotas all the way

 

wut size tire are you running with that wont rub on 17's

 

what kinda rims? im curious

 

Im like the 16 or 15 light weight wheel with a low profile

 

17x7.5 205/40 45+ no rub...


17x7 205/40 43+ no rub...

 

15's get my vote again...

 

i prefer getting 15s or 16s
