hmm... they might stick out a little bit but you might be fine without a drop. i think if you want to lower the car you'll have some problems with rubbing.

I would go with some 215/35/20 IF they even make em. You'll need all the space you can get. If you drop the car, you will see some serious rubbing. I would definitely suggest rolling/cutting the fenders in the back to save those, as far as the front, good luck. I suggest a really "tall" lip kit to make the car look lower.

you can either go with 225/35 or 225/30. the offset is what is going to make it stick out, not so much the tire size. you should be fine with the +42 offset, but like Hustle said you sohuld really do some research before you drop money on something, imho

Some member named "rijowsocky" or something like that, has or at least had 20's I believe. I'm pretty sure he'll see this thread soon enough.

Why 20's though??

Actually, I don't think Riley had 20's on his car. Only 19's... I might be wrong though. Either way, he should be able to help this guy out. PM him

Riley wouldn't put 20s on his civic. It's kinda retarded. Althought not as bad as buying them before knowing what size tires will fit....

But you can PM rijowysock, blackbullet, danscreations or o2civic and they should be able to help.

o2civic actually had 20s on his car, so he may be your best bet.

20 whew... biggest so far.. anyone wanna try 21?

my friend tried 20 before, looks kinda big for civic imo.. i think you need to roll the fender.. 225/35 should be ok, but better find 215/30 if they are available

Go look on www.tirerack.com they have 225/30 tires I believe for like 280 a piece. 20's look kind of big on a civic but they might look alright, got any pics of the rims.

riley has 19" SSR's and that's the biggest i've seen him go, but i havn't been on this forum that long so maybe there are ppl who went 20's

personally, i think it'll look insanely crazah! but we'll see how it turns out ^_^

i would cry if i hit a pothole tho >_<

and why not use the tire calculator to see if that tire size would work?

edit: rofl...nvm, the tire calculator doesn't even go up to 20's

good luck bro...post lots of pics man

I gotta question for all the people that dont like the idea of putting 20's on a civic...Why not? If people are putting 19's with a drop then what's the big deal with 20's and no drop? its one 1 size bigger and you people are getting all mad and disgusted with the idea...I say go for it, and IMO I think it will look pretty sick. thats just my .02

rijowysock will become famous soon enough
ok. the **** stops here.lol


nitto 555 makes 225.35/20 will rub if ur slammed and its gonna change ur speedo by like 10% also its gonna make ur car higher.....

i didnt get 20's and stuck w/ pimp 19's is cuz i wouldnt buy anything that fragile CAST aluminum... ur just asking for trouble.. i hit a hole w/ FORGED 6061 wheels and bent them... now thats just insane if you only knew how strong 6061 is..

anywho

if your cheap... you should just get NANKANG 225/35/20 cause their cheap pos tires and u can just burn thru em.. etc..

but if you wanna do it right..

get 225/30/20 BFG KDW2 those r the tires you NEED TO RUN.

but make sure you check psi often the sidewalls r so stiff that u can run 0pso and still look like their full.. the tiures run in excess of 280each which is more than likely more than your wheels.. thus why i chose to get some 4000$ 19's and wrap in 600$ tires rather than getting cheap 20's and haveing tires more expensive than wheels.

anywho.. thats all your choices.... there ya go.

riley

btw danscreations me, blacckbullet have never ridded 20's only 02civic and he didnt even drive on his..
