15' or 16inch on EK hatch?

[ojaii]

hi guys

just wondering what size will suit EK Hatch 99 better?

thanx

15's n 16's both look good. check out the ek civic picture thread in the appearance section. 90% of them have 15" and 16" wheels

Depends what your budget it. If you can really afford to, go 20". Mad deals at ozzy/temple tyres.

[newbie]

also depends on the rim design.

ive seen 15's on an EK and because of the design of the rim.. they look small.

but alot of other running 15"s looks great.

also the cost of tyres goes up about $50 a corner when you go up a size

[cris88]

16's would fit the guard better then 15's mate...giv it a betta look

[redefine]

imo, 15's but thats just personal opinion. as other people have said, look for yourself and decide what you like

[MikeyG]

if u get 15's it will look good only if its low and the fenders near the tyres or lower...

[flipfire]

16's + 2.5' drop

Those Fully Sick Chrome one's Bro,the Hectic ones :thumbsup:

17s ftw most days for easy of tyres compared to 16s (big diff in price near me for 16" tyres)

I would go 16s for dumpage purposes, but for budget use you can't go wrong with 15s

but 15s do look lost on such a large small car, lol

[beeza]

No way!

15's ftmfw!!

:)

[EK1.6LCIV]

lol, you shouldve seen the 18s in one side chrome and other side black I was rolling on the other day

[beeza]

LOL'S!!!

That would have been funny Ryan!! :)

[EK1.6LCIV]

LOL'S!!!

That would have been funny Ryan!! :)

yea, was funny and stiff at the same time 225 rubber was grippy, but the wheels weighed a ton, think my economy hit 12.5L/100 with em, lol

[beeza]

Ouch!

When I went from heavy 17's to 15's,the difference was night and day.So much easier to turn and good rubber obviously makes a great difference aswell.I wouldn't go any bigger.

[EK1.6LCIV]

yea my car is huge, def going 16s as a min, as my old 14s used to smoke up the brakes with their failure at clearance to caliper, lol

[beeza]

My car is bigger than yours!

15's :)

[xtercii]

why you wanna get 15s or 16s, they were trendy back in the early 90s...in this era and age 19s are minimum if you want your car to look half decent...

[beeza]

^^ ahahahahaaa!!

[end7]

Depends if u looking for show go 18" and above.
For performance i'd go for 15" stock engine or 16" if u swap engine

[eternityz]

15" old school rims stretchi tyres ;)
im plannign to do that soon when i have money

[xtercii]

big rims and drum brakes are trendy hehe...

[underbelly]

what is the best width and offset for a 15" or 16" rim that will require no mods (guard lipped/rolled) or scrub for a 99-00 EK hatch? (a.k.a direct bolt on/replacement)

Cheers guys.

[EK1.6LCIV]

Im going to be running 15x6.5" (easy fit, doing it for the cheapness in performance tyres mainly)

I can run upto 7.5" without issues on my 17" setup

[nigs]

Wasting your time if you ain't rolling on 18" these days.

18x7 +48.

Do it.

Don't forget to put something like Nankangs on them.

[|N|]

nothing beats 22" chromies....

[AndreaCivic]

i read somewhere on here, best offset is around +35 - +40..
can't remember the rest of the spec though, 7" or 6.5" width etc..

[me5t1za]

I'm getting 17" put on mine today. Will take some pics n post it up tomorrow. my ride's at standard height atm but will be putting a 1.5 drop in the next week.

[VTECMACHINE]

15's.. fo sho.

[neo_phase]

What would be the best bet for some white 16" x 7" 4x100 +40???

My current wheels are CSA 15" that came with the car when I bought it and have been dying to get some white ones..

[AndreaCivic]

buddy club makes some nice white ones, there were some white limited edition rays wheels at jdm yard recently.. or you could look at some oem ek9 wheels but they might be 15"
there is also work emotion crkai wheels in white with that offset i beleive..
