hey guys, im kinda new to this site..
i run a 94 Civic EG hatch (White).
got a question bout purchasing new tires and rims..
im pretty set on getting the 15s
but donno if i should go for 15x6.5 or 15x7.
+40??? or....?
whats the best size tyres should i go for? (no problems, no rubbing fender)
i heard ROTA slip streams are good with the EG hatch,
do you guys have any opinion on the Konig heliums?

5 or 6 spokes, bronze or gunmetal is what i prefer.
any suggestions?

tyre size can vary, depending whether u like it to bubble out a bit or stay flush with the edge of the rim, but for 15 inch wheels id go 205/50/R15 if your going for the 15x7.

hope that helps mate.

7" 205 is pretty flush, 6.5" I'd go 195.

15x7 +40 will fit fine, worst case scenario just a rear guard roll if your ride is low and scrubbing but I don't think that would happen with +40. I had 7" with 215/40 +35 and scrubbed pretty nasty...

yeh i havent lowed the car or anything yet, the car is still pretty stock.
so hopefully this will be the right size.
how does 15x7 +40 with 195/50-15 tryes sound to you guys?

Sounds good, tyres will have a tiny bit of stretch, and I don't think you'll have any scrubbing issues at all if you lower the car.

15x7 +40 with 195/50/15 tryes will sit fine. no dramas. tho if you lower the car heavily, you will need spacers to clear the rear camber arms. but thats only if you lower it hard.

buy 13inch rims.

get something like 13x5

and skinny 155 tires, save fuel.
