you can put what ever slicks you want on them as long as they are made for a 13" rim. and what you need to find out is how big of a slick you can run in the wheel well, so measure from the center of the rim to the top of the wheel well and then multiply by 2 and you will have the max tire size you can fit

to tell tire size is easy

for slicks (24x7x13) 24 is the total height of the tire 7 is width and 13 is rim size

on street tires 215/50/14/Z 215 is width in mm
50 side wall height but it gose by percent of the tire width so 50 is 50% of 215, that would make the side wall 107.5mm high
14 is rim size
the letter is the rating on the tire i think that Z and R are the best

There is no R rating. That means Radial. Z-W-Y are the highest. The one you see the most out of the three is Z though.

I heard 24.5'' slick were the biggest you could go on a civic without cutting the wheel well
