Need Tire Help

I have a 2001 Civic EX Coupe. Still has the factory wheels with wheel covers. I love the ride the car has and I know that going to a larger wheel will compromise the ride quality. I'm not a street racer so I don't need the performance of a larger wheel. I would like to go to a wider tire though. I have the chance to buy a mint set of '00 SI rims. They look pretty sweet for factory rims. What's the widest tire that I could use on those 15" rims that wouldn't rub or give me any problems?

um, larger wheels actually hinder performance so those "Street racers" with 17s or bigger are actually slower then if they had a light set of 15's......


for you, on a 15X6 wheel On the street... Go with a 205.

.....yeah probably like a 205/60-15 tire should work nicely and not throw everything off factory settings.
