15's on 01 civic

I am looking at a set of 15" rims for my civic. The car currently has 14's with P195/70SR14 tires. The 15's have p195/55/r15, but the seller is not sure of the offset. Will these fit without rubbing?

As long as the offsets aren't crazy low they'll fit fine.

The the other posters said, they will be fine.the 15" rims you looking at should not be a problem!

Just make sure the offset isnt too low. take a look at this website, it will help:

Also,I am posting a similar issue with my 17x7.5 rims, and with 205/50/17 tires. My size rims should not rub so you have nothing to worry about with your 15"

Re: 15's on 01 civic

I found that these rims will throw off my speedo reading by 5.3%. I really don't want to throw off my millage. I am looking at a set of rims at canadian tire they are Touren TR3 15x7 with a 40mm offset. I can run 195/65/15 tires without throwing off my speedo. I was wondering would these tires mount properly to these rims? Also I am guessing that the stock steelie rim offset is 45mm with 6 inch width? The car currently has 195/70/14 tires on it. I am not exactly how the willtheyfit link works could someone please check to see if this new set up will work?

Re: 15's on 01 civic

well how about 205/60/15? those are the only sizes I can run to keep the rolling radius the same. I am not looking for the best looking rim set up, I just want summer tires and rims so I don't have to change over winter tires every year

I ran 205/50/15's on my 05 and I never had speedo problems it was a little off but maybe 1 or 2 miles, nothing I could ever notice.

Re: 15's on 01 civic

I checked and it would be less than 0.3% slow so that is fine, would the 205/60's look better than the 195/65's? Also should they have any problem fitting to the 15x7 rims?

Re: 15's on 01 civic

they pretty much look the same because the aspect ratio (middle number) compensates for the extra width of the tire.


your tires/rims will look stock, because thats how big stock rims/tires are.

Re: 15's on 01 civic

Thats fine I don't mind a stock looking rim, they are still better looking than the steel 14's on the car with hubcaps. I can get 195/65's used in good shape. I am a noob when it comes to rims so I still have a few questions.

1) will the 195/65R15 tires fit properly to the 15x7 rims?

2)I am not really sure how http://www.willtheyfit.com/ works, will the new rims work? Old rims are 195/70R14 tires with stock steel rims (assuming they are 14X6 with 45mm offset) Is this a good assumption or does someone have the correct offset for stock steel rims?

Re: 15's on 01 civic

1. 195/65/15 will fit fine on your 15x7 rim.

2. these new 15" rims you put on will be fine. unless you get some crazy offset like +10mm offset then you are ok. +45 is well in spec.

on a side note, while 195/65/15 tires will fit fine, they 205/60/15 will fit better on the 7" width rim. but there isnt TOO much difference.
