y get that size?

 

fitment and ride quality.things some people disregard to look cool as hell myself included

 

big rims fail

 

Sorry but big rims don't make you look cool. In my opinion, big rims make you look dumb because you don't care about how good your car works, you only care about how good you think it looks.

There needs to be a balance of both looks and functionality. On any Civic made before 2001, 15" wheels look plenty big (in most Civic enthusiasts' (ricers not included... ricers don't care about their car, only their self image) opinion, the perfect size) and still offer comfort and an ideal sidewall height.

OP: Get that size because it offers more sidewall and comfort. You don't need 205mm of treadwidth on your Civic, 195 is plenty.

 

i hate the 2001 era civics my sister has one and wat not and there is no way to customize it to look good lol ugly big car with plain taillights

 

hay i drive a 04 i think it looks better then the old ones.and trustdestruction thats exatly rite its personal opinion and as for performance you act like we all drive super cars not everybody wants to track. its there car there money there problem.this whole ricer things a littel much .just let people be happy with what they have alot of people cant afford top notch s**t

 

check craigslist i found a guy that sells new and used tires for 65 a set! i went to look at what he had today and im gonna get some brand new fusion zri's and the total is 155 bucks!

 

oh and he wasnt calling him a ricer! he was just talkin about ricers and how they dont care if there tires rub the fenders when they turn.

 

a couple things wrong with your post...
1. I don't track. Actually, 88-00 Civics come with 13" 14" and 15" rims stock. The cars aren't made for track stock.
So I think by your logic what you're really saying is "not everybody wants to DD the way the car was designed."

2. I'm not acting like we all have super cars. Since Civics come with small rims, i'm actually acting being more realistic than you are and i'm using my car more like it was designed to be... with smaller rims.

3. My rims aren't "top notch s**t." Actually, they probably cost a few hundred dollars less than your wheels. Smaller wheels means a smaller price, and easier to find/less expensive tires.


P.S. I never called you a ricer. I was saying ricers aren't included in the definition of "enthusiast."

And what size rims do you have? If you have 17" on the 7th gen, that's not that bad. 17" is worse on a 5th or 6th gen than on a 7th gen because you can use bigger tires than us. You really can't relate to us 92-00 guys because your car is designed for rims about 1" bigger than ours are. Don't recommend 17" to someone with a 5th or 6th gen just because it's fine on your car, because it's completely different. Please, know the details of what generation Civic you are talking about before you recommend a wheel size.

 

first of i did not recommend anything i was explaining what rims i bought and what tire size next time take your own advice and know the details before you post 17swhat are you talking about.and the ricer thing i wasn't talking about myself but all the kids you feel necessary to rip on.also if you had read the post you would know what size rim i have.
