BFG G Force Sport

I have a 2003 Civic Ex and I need to buy new tires. I would like to put the BFG G Force Sport in a 195/55/15. I am not sure how much lower my car is going to be and if their is going to be too much space from the fender to the tire. If any of you guys have any input it would be greatly appreciated.

what size tire is on there now. Usually replacing a tire or 4 tires wont change the stance of your car. As for the tires. I currently have those exact ones in a 205/40/17. There good for wet and dry but i miss my falkens.

The car came with 185/65/15's. The oe tires are Firestone Fr690's real pieces of ****. What other tire would you recommend besides the BFG G Force Sport?

I'm on G-Force Sports and for the money I think they're great. The only thing I don't like about them is they get LOUD at freeway speeds. If you're looking for a good all around tire the Falken Ziex 512s have a good rep. Soft side walls is the only negative thing I've heard about them.

I ended up ordering a 205/55/15 in the BFG G Force sports. I got em for like 80 dollars a tire at discount tire. I was thinking about the KDW2, but the price was a little high, 114 mounted and balanced. I'll have em installed next week and I'll take some pics. Hopefully their wont be too much wheel gap.

I got the G Forces installed this morning and took the car on a little test run in the austin Hillcountry. The tires handle really well and they are a tad bit noizy but im ok with it. I love the look of the tire and the good news is, their isnt a huge gap between the fender and tire like i was worried about. Unfortunately its about to rain over here so i wont be doing any further testing until the weather clears.

I disagree with this. I have these tires on my Works and they aren't all that great. But to each their own.

More power to you since you got a good deal, but my opinion still stands. So enough said on my part.

Loudest street tires ever. Had a set and probably won't get them ever again.

It rained in central texas last night. I took the civic out for some testing in wet conditions and didnt lose traction at all and I launched the car several times. the noise doesnt bother me at all, and it may be because they are too new to really tell (and I tend to have my sterio loud often).
