Rims & Tires

Well since winter is over it's time to get my winter tires off the car which are 195/60/R15 and at the Performance Store that I went to he told me that I could go with 215/45/R17 Falkon Tire.... Now will this create any problems for my suspension , he said it wouldn't and the only thing is the speedometer might be off by a bit.. This is going on a Silver 2003 Civic SI and the rims that I want are black with chrome... I'll tell you the price once I buy them but remember I'm from Canada eh..lol Thanks for you input and I will post some pictures when I get them...Thanks

Re: Rims & Tires

I had to roll my rear fender just to fit my 205/50/15 B.F. Goodrich G Force Kdws. Then again my car sits on Tein Type Flex Coilovers adjusted all the way down. Are you running stock suspension?

Re: Rims & Tires

pffft **** all that noise.

go big or go home. I have a body kit so I got away with 40 tread wrapping around 18's on my ride with a 2 inch drop.

speedometer didn't change. the speed cops pull me over for is exactly the speed i was going lol.

anything over 45's as far as tread go are going to be smooth. i use to roll with 35's on my and wow the road noise plus the quality of ride was straight up stupid.
