yeah, my current tires are absolutely temporary, but i dunno how small of a tire i can get on 15's without f**kin some s**t up.
I dont think they make the avs's smaller than 50 series in size 15's. I have those in the fronts (195/50/15)

If you want a 45 series profile, Kuhmo makes a 195/45/15. I stick with 195 instead of 205 because I cant make U turns and I rub when I hit bumps...

Dont be sad for sportin 15's. Im on 15's and its just as good.

You shouldnt have a problem using lower profile tires. Depending on how wide the rims are, you can use 195/50/15 tire's.

Yea, those are big ass tires. Did you return them for $ back?

You have adjustable coils or will the car be lowered with springs?

Im at work and this comp doesnt have Aim.

I am using ground control coilovers. They cost around $300 and can be cheaper on ebay. You can get some generic brands for abour $150 and under. The only difference is ride quality. Im also using tokico illumina shocks ($400).

Suspension tuning can get costly so purchase quality stuff or save money till you can get them.

Hey [civic] how much of a difference would there be between 195/50's and 195/55's
To me, its a difference but it should only be less than half an inch differnece. I could be wrong on the half inch part but it is a little beefier compared to 50 series.

I scrape with 55 series too.

Sounds good to me.

Vr speed rating is 149mph which is more than what our stock civics can do.

195/50/15's are my favorite number.
