I tried searching for an answer but couldn't find anything definitive. My question is pretty conservative...

Will 225 / 60 / 16 tires fit on a bone stock 2011 Civic EX-L sedan ?

OEM are 205 / 55 / 16

Thank you !

Couldn't give you a definitive answer about fitment, but I can tell you that it'll throw your speedometer (and odometer) off.

Can't give you a definitive answer either but it should fit just fine if you are not lowered. Your tire width will increase some but less then an inch. I don't think any OE suspension components would be that close to the tire sidewall.

I would take a look to make sure there is nothing in the way.

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out for sure? I found a calculator that said the speedo would be off (low) by about 4.5 MPH.

4.5 is about right.

A way to know for sure? Use a calculator to determine how much of a change will occur between the tire width and height and look at your suspension and measure.

Or find someone who has tried it before.

4.5 mph @ 60mph. 7% difference per the miata.net tire calc. Bear in mind that after 10,000 miles, your odometer will record 700 miles short of actual mileage.

225 is a bit wide for 01-05, that's all I can tell you. Although, stock height might not be an issue.

Just out of curiosity, why that specific size?

why would you want to do that, if you don't mind me asking?

Honestly because my wife's car needs tires and a friend of ours has these laying around that we could basically score for nothing... I'm not as worried about the speedometer as I am safety and rubbing issues. It's a 4 door sedan - no lowering, no nothing. It's an A to B no frills car that just needs tires. lol

Overall diameter is quite big - likely on sped bumps will need be careful or free tire could take out fender liners.
If during corner you hit a hole or bump, it could also be a free tire taking out your fenders.
