Default Tires and Wheels

Okay so on my vehicle I have 16" rims with 205/45/16 tires. Im purchasing new rims that are 16x7. Will the tires off the my current rims be compatible with the new wheels. Hoping I dont sound dumb

-Thanks

Yup, its official, i sounded dumb as ****. lol. Anyway, Im just gonna save for mods instead of rims, so I sold my old gay chromes and slapped on teh black hubs.

You know they actually look pretty clean on a red civic with black trim, Ill get a pic up.

Get some wheels. If its a stock motor, just go ahead and get low and slow with a nice suspension and wheel combo.

Tein S-techs and Tokico blues is a decent inexpensive combo, but it'll only lower you just under 2". If you want to slam the car, I'd recommend Ground Control coilovers and some decent struts (I had KYB AGXs with my GCs. They were decent but couldn't handle the drop I was running lol)

Were that AGX's real rough with that drop Reaper? Im going to get some GC's soon and drop a little more. Im at 2.5 all around and want to go a little lower. I had heard the AGX's were well worth getting instead of shelling out the extra for Konis.

So that would be a decent inexpensive setup? Yea I have the stock 195/65/14 on there atm so i think 1.9 will be a clean look. Atleast when i throw a ruler up to it its right about the fender. Allthough does anyone know where a nice detailed guide to doing this is? Or what you used. I know it isnt that difficult, im just new =(

Thats a good choice for a mild drop. I have Tokico's on my car right now. Not bad.

Wow.... That is so easy a caveman could do it. I my mind I was thinking it would be difficult. However, It looks about as easy as doing an oil change lol.
