Post unusual wheel sizes...
 
Please post unusual tire sizes. Something that's a larger diameter and width than stock (use the Tire Calc to make sure). Something that you're actually running on and something that gives you no problems at all. It can be lowered or not lowered, just mention which.

215.35.19 is pretty close, 225.30.19 is even closer, i dont think thats a real size though. with both sizes drivability is near zero, its off the trailer, on the trailer [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

TOOLOWCIVIC 06-24-2002 10:30 AM

225-40-19 don't know if it will fit. My friend has 225-35-19 and still has a gap.

214/40/17 odometer off by thousands i'm switching to 45's asap.

I have 19 inch Racing Hart C3s on my 2k1 civic and the car is dropped about one inch. No problems so far it has been about one month now of regular driving.

You can't pimp your ride without 19's

Give me a holla I've got some 18X7.5 TMW with 215 40 R18 pirelli's for sale for $1000 three months old

195/50/16, no problems, 205/50/16, no problems, 215/40/17, no problems, never had it lowered yet but from all the other responses it doesnt seem like i will have a problem of rubbing with some lowering springs.

IonRays 09-05-2002 03:21 PM

umm there was the progressive rsx with stock wheels 16X6.5 with 225X40 16tires and a 22mm rear sway & stock front sway .it did .96G on the skids:tup:awsomeness

MrMondayNite 09-09-2002 10:50 PM

Macker 09-19-2002 08:45 AM

215/50/17 with lowered suspension. Ride is a bit harsh but wouldnt change it a bit.

Hey guys,

I just bought a pair of Yokahama Tires 245/45/17. They rub when I hit a bump going fast. What kind of damage may incurre while having this happen over time. I have this set of tires in the back. I have Yokahama Tires 215/45/17 in the front. The car seems to handle well b/c of the front tires. The ride is more comfortable b/c of the back tires. I gained a small bounce tough in the back as well as more roll due to the crossection of the 245/45/17's.

H man

I have some kick a$$ Michelin 195/60/15 on stock ex steelies. Everything is great, and speedometer isn't off or anything....its only a slight difference in performance but was only 6 bucks more per tire.

AzNxTc 10-16-2002 01:21 AM

215/45/17 toyo proxies. Too much negative camber on the rears, and my H&R springs are sagging on the rears so I'd estimate a 2.5" drop. They rub like hell on bumps and my fenders have little dents from my tires hitting the frame when i hit bumps. Any recommendations guys?

vincenzobar 10-16-2002 04:22 PM

225 50 16 Yokohama A520's w/ 1.75" lower. had to dremel a quarter inch in on the rear fenders inside. And I rub turning hard and fast. I am changing my suspension to Skunk2 coilovers to remedy this problem. I have godline lowering springs now.

mohawkboom 11-08-2002 07:35 AM

205/75R14 winter tires...Bigfoot civic!!!..no probs still stock suspension

ASWZero 11-15-2002 12:03 AM

I just saw my first pair(i was parked right next to it)
355/35/24
I was talking to the guy, his wheels add about a 1000 lbs to his ride(denali). I was sitting in my car and I could barely see over the tire.

I have 205/50/16 and they are fine.

Intruder 11-18-2002 07:58 PM

currently running 205/50/15 Potenza's (speedo is way off), probably switching to either 215/45/15's (will send speedo even more off, almost 2" smaller in diameter than stock) or to 225/50/15's (with rolled rear fenders on H&R springs). Most likely to 225/50 because many many more tire options.

IH8SUVS 11-27-2002 02:13 PM

215/45R17 - very close in diameter, plus they aren't so thin that you have to steer around every pothole.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

LadyInRed 12-04-2002 01:24 AM

195/55/r15 with GC coilovers (yellow koni). drop to 2 fingers all round, no problems. :)

Edens 12-18-2002 09:58 PM

I was running 235/40ZR17 on my civic.(YES 235) with ground controls and a 2 inch drop. now before every one goes on saying that a 235/40 is much too tall. A 235/40 is actually a little bit shorter than the stock size on an EX. And the width is not impossible I had 17x7.5 wheels with a 45mm offset. hope this helps.

jaegs 12-20-2002 12:55 PM

ive got 215/40/17. lowered a bunch on ground control coils, camber kit, yadda yadda. havent rubbed yet. dont know what that dude was talking about his odo being off thousands. the tire calc says my tire is the same height as the stock wheels
