    195-50-15 probably would look the best

    No lower than 225, otherwise that 8 inches is a total waste.

    On a civic you're probably going to need to stretch 195's or 205's to fit the tire close to the fender. 225's will look too fat on a civic but that's a matter of opinion. I'll bet you'll want to go with 45's too.



    I'm pretty sure those are 195/45s for reference.

    ^^^but as he said when you go lower than 225s you are losing width of the wheel. 15x8s are kinda pointless on a civic unless you want some poke or something.

    Yeah. It won't even come close to fitting under the fender. The tire will stick out a TON. And if you're too low, you are going to SCRUB-udubub then pop a tire.

    You'll need a roll and maybe a pull.

    if you are trying to make them fit the best and your purpose is looks then 195... if your purpose is traction then 225

    ...and most likely 45's unless you aren't very low. You'll scrub like hell if you're too low and go with 50 series tires.


    It all depends on what you wanna do. But you can't really go too wrong with 195/45's.

    a Civic, 2.5 inches of lowering, and 8 inch wide wheels.


    you WILL have to get 195's and stretch, you WILL have to roll the fenders, you WILL have to induce A-lot of negative camber, and you most definitely need to get skinnier wheels
