Rep Power: 0 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?

Rep Power: 357 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.
