Hi

Would 16" rims on a stock height EG Civic look okay? Or would it would 'weird' or '4WD' like?

I was thinking a set of Rota's (undecided which ones).

Thanks

the diameter is exactly the same as the stock 14s ... it didn't really look strange with the 14s but with the 16s which is the same height looks weird like the gap has widened. I think it's just an optical illusion.

I'll run whatever it takes it match existing rolling diameter.

Stock in R14/60/175 so I think that's R16/40/195?

What height is that?

If I had to guess, to steal someones ride from "post your EG" thread ... I think my EG is about this high.

Sure it's not slammed but I don't think it's that high. I am running ITR suspension (which I love cos it feels good but I also have an angled driveway so I cant go lower!)

So I'm not sure why people are saying "it'll look like a 4wd". Is the pic above 15's 1or 16's?
