[dusAn]

hey guys, i need some help i was thinking of getting rims something like this(check attachment)
for my 98 ek civic cxi
although for 15inch what size tyres do i need and are the rims meant to be 4x100 or 4x114? and what offset do i need so i can lower it with some spare ultra low king springs my friend gave me.

thanks

you need 4x100 stud pattern. you should have 55 or 50 profile tyres aswell with 15" offset it depends what you want, the lower the offset the more it will "poke"

um alright so would +38 be alright? i wanna lower the car really bad sits way to high

+38 is fine

same rims as mine but mine's in hyper silver
haha
im going for 205/55. I was told it'd be fat and looks chunky

when selecting tyres make sure the load and speed rating is equal to, or higher than what stock/required for your car. if its lower and you crash it will void your insurance

id personally say you will need 195/55 tyres

That's too fat dude for a Civic.

take the standard tire and rim size from the placard in your door sill, or where ever it is. This will give you an accurate base to start off with in regard to rolling circumference and speed. then use this tool to calculate the affects of changing tyre size.

and use this to calculate the affects of various wheel offsets will have. most wheels will have the offset stamped into the rim somewhere.

From memory the replacement tyre must retain an overall diameter within a maximum of 5% of the standard tyre, this is to keep your speed as accurate as possible.

and as Lukey said. make sure the new tyre has equivalent or better load and speed rating.
