195/50 would be find. if 195/55 if you want a bit more ground clearance.

Maximum width you can go is 225 :)

[MaskedAP1]

what tires are you getting? id go with 205/50 tho

[zerospel]

It depends on the price I guess, I would prefer 205/50 , well now that I know I can go with 225s Id prefer that :p but I think its gonna be too pricey

But if i can get 205/50 for not much more than 195s Id go 205s

Im gonna post wtb post for these now :D

is ur car lowered?
i had fat fives 15x6.5 i fink they r
and 205/55 tyres on them (huge)
i was lowered on super low wif em and on full lock it scrubbed
but i rekon 195/55 or 50's wud look best and haf no clearance probs

[zerospel]

its lowered with king springs "low" :)

195/55 ! not to FAT .. not to small .. just right ! plus the prices are decent for decent/good tread.

i got 195/50s and its abit 2 small and pretty bumpy. go for 205 for the extra traction, well worth it. or 195/55s for alil more comfy ride.

i was told at the tyre place that 195/50 doesnt meet the weight "standard" for my crx, i could only get 195/55, or 205/50, but it might be different for the ek

[zerospel]

Dam I just got myself a pair of used michelin 195/50s and a pair of 195/55s and didnt wanna separate them

195/50 tyres anyone ? :)

Also does anyone know if its easy to put a tyre on a wheel? if I buy that metal wedging tool thingy? or do you need special machine to put it on?

Cos the civic has no wheels so I cant take the car to the tyre shop so I have to bring the tyres and wheels to the shop to be fitted then take it home then put the rims on then take the car back to the tyre shop for balancing and alignment ! what a pain!

i got pirelli 195/50 they alright, but clearance is abit shabby.. had 195/55 before gave me abit more clearance.. now my muddies scrape on almost everything.. didn't scrape as much on my 195/55 though..

but 195/55 would be more ideal..

[roar]

they don't have the wheel on the car for wheel balancing

only alignment

Hi!

I will go for 195/55/15 coz it has better response than 205 series. 10 mm makes a bit difference.. :)
