i suggest 205/50/15. i think those rotas are 15x7 right? if they are 15x7 then i think you would need 205. imo i think 60 series would look way too fat. even with my size tire i am running now the 50 series looks fat. i say go 205/50/15.

205/50/15

im running 205/50/15 on my 99 si's...i love the wider tread cuz of the grip it gives me but the side wall is big enough so i get a decent ride out of it too...tires i recommend are Falken Azenis RT615 or if u wanna spend less than falken ziex 512 in 205/50/15...

what would you guys go with for 16" rims? would you go with 205/50/16's or 215/50/16's? same drop springs and i want to fill up the gap as much as possible without rubbing. the 215's are .25 of an inch taller than stock tires while the 205's are .14 of an inch lower. i think their was an inch of a gap in the front and inch and a half gap in the rear with the stock tires on. what do you guys think, should i take a chance with the 215's?

205/50 is the more common size. I'm running 205/55 just because I wanted a slightly more comfortable ride.

205/50/15 will lower your car even more, be aware of that.

The difference between 185/65/15 ride height and 205/60/15 ride height is -0.7 inches.
For later model civics, the difference in heights from 190/60/15 to 205/60/15 will be -0.53 inches.

These measurements relate to how much lower the center of your wheels will be, meaning the whole car will be that much lower. Hope you can afford the loss of clearance.
