Looking at buying some tires for the daily runner (2002 civic)

Stock are 185s i think. Just curious to know what width i can go without the tires rubbing in the wheel wells when turning.

I could test it out myself, but don't feel like mounting the tires for nothing...

Any of you have wider tires than stock?

i ride with 205/50/15's and they don't rub...i'm not sure if you can run anything wider than that

 

i have a 96 hatch and it's lower 2.5" and with one a camber kit it didn't rub but once I got one it started too only in the back when i took turns a little to fast and i have 205/50/15 but before i had 205/40/17

 

i had my hatch on 225/40/18 slammed for about a year, and it was pretty fun taking hard turns i ditched the 18s for 16;s though, now its 215/40/16

wow. i had 225/40-18's from my accord that i tried to fit on my hatch... they couldnt even mount on my car cuz they were too big. i know of ppl running 16" azenis (215's) on ek's but they do rub quite a bit

 

I'm pretty sure he meant something like the actual width 16x7.5 or 15x8.
