19s on a civic is sick. The bigger the better. In my opinion 17s and 18s look like sh !t on a civic.

I'm with you guys. 19s are the only way to go! Hey Toolow, i heard you're getting some
19" focals f5s. Me too!!!! Are you going with 215/35/19 or 225/35/19. Everybody has
been saying that the 225 are too wide but i don't think so.

damn you people n 19s... only if i got my raise earlier.. why do you want 225-35-19 tires anyways? i think only tires for 19s on our cars would be the smallest 215-35-19. even those are much bigger then stock.

I want to go with 225 to get a little more sidewall. There are a few people with 225/40/18
on this site and the difference between those 18s and the 225/19s is minimal. The width
is actually 0.1mm less width on the 19s and only 0.2mm" more in diameter. I remember reading
that the drop was more than 1". I'll make them fit!

225-40-18 is just so thick, even mine is a lil on the thick side(214-40-18). but ya you could always make them fit... i think torreto had 225-45-18 and slammed his car. but then he also took out the fender wells, n i'm sure he rolled the rear fenders

you will most likely rub with that drop and 19" wheels. i just got some 18's and couldn't fit the 215/40/18 size tire with my neuspeed sport drop.

Hey FastandFurious, I'm going with the 225-35 tires. They should fit fine. I had 18s with a 225-40 and 1.5 inch drop no problems at all. So the 19s should fit fine. I'll let you know how they fit as soon as I get them.

He just can't afford the 19's so he talks SHlT about people who can. Don't worry dude, minimum wage will be going up soon..

Also note that KiMcHi69 dosen't even have his ride posted, which gives him even LESS room to talk.

I had 19" Racing Hart C2's on my Civic. I traded it in on a '03 GTI 1.8T. Got Bilstien pss9 coilovers, and 19" Oettingers on the way as we speak. Will have updated pics as soon as I get the stuff on. Proball next week.

i want 20s on my vic. shouldnt be hard to fit them, just going to cost alot.
they dont make dubs in 4 lug as of yet. so you'd have to get the rims custom made or get a 5 lug conversion. have to get the smallest 20" tires they make. you probably cant drop your car without gutting the fender well/rolling the fenders. a body kit is a must. i've heard the giovanna rsx had 20s on it, have yet to see a picture tho. but then the fenders on the rsx are bigger then ours so..

i was gonna get 20's a while back but then the dealer stuck one of em, under the well and lowered the car down to what it look like normally and the were tooo big(they were 5 lug so he couldnt put them un just had to et thm there, iu was gonna get the 5 lug conversion if i went aong with the rims) they were nice looking but just too big and with the tiny tire needed htyed be lke hell driving watching out for everything. i used to drive my brothes sonoma on 22's and that was horrilble. anyways im just waiting till someone actualyputs 20's on there before i diss them anymore.
