'19 wheels

[ex96civicex96]

i want to put some 19 inch wheels in my ej8 but i dont know if they goin to rub when i make a turn?
or would they look too big? those anybody have any 96-00 coupes on 19 inch wheels?

I have 17"s and they rub like no other

19s would look hilarious on a 6th gen, and thats not a good thing. Biggest Ive seen on a 6th gen is 18" and they looked too big. Your tires are going to be about 10 inches wide, so turning is gonna be a pain in the ass. 17s should be the max, leave the big rims for the 300cs and suvs.

Please dont. They would definately look too big, 17's definately the biggest you want to go.

 

[mhi]

yeah..16 or 17 would be perfect....

hope youre boosted, youll need it to move those suckers on a stock D..

 

[deftone]

you can fit em... itll prolly ride like crap and youll need a body kit to help your car look lower. id just go with 18s. with a good suspension setup you wont rub. i never did with my 18s

Please dont....this will turn into a bad episode of pimp my ride.

i dont think the tires are 10 inches wide when the wheels for a honda whould be 19x7.5 and i have seen 20inch wheels on civic's 92-up

I've had 19" Racing Hart's on my car before (98 hatchback) and it was nearly impossible to turn at a high rate of spend. They rubbed like no other. If it's a DD, i would highly highly suggest you stay away from the 19's. I've seen Civic's with 20s, but it takes serious fabrication work so they don't rub. Go with 18's or smaller.

19x7.5 would be at least 225, so basically 9 inches wide. I also said "about" 10 inches wide. And those civics couldnt turn for s**t. Tell me you want rims that big when you need to swerve something, like a car pulling out infront of you. Id rather rock 16s and handle like a beast, then rollin on some baller rims.

I bet that Civic was cool as s**t 7 years ago..

 

[lilwhitecoupe]

mind you 7 years ago fast and the furious was the rage (btw i have the same tach as paul walker in the first one! ) lol rice i know

My buddy has 17's on his stock 99 coupe and he doesn't rub. He isn't lowered or anything, stock suspension and has about a 2-3 finger gap at all wheels. He doesn't rub at all, even when his wheel is all the way left/right. It just doesn't ride as smooth as my 14" steelies.

I'd go with 15's or 16's.

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

I threw some 17's on my car a week ago to see how they would fit. The tires were Potenza 215/45/17 and they rubbed bad when you went to turn.

 

[slowcivic E G]

put 16" slipstreams on it. That hatch in the pics above is horrible, pure rice.
I have 15" blades on my car and it rubs going up driveways turning, but my car is slammed
Blurry pic, camera is broken.

 

[schutzracing]

i have 18's on my 99 coupe and a set of 17's and neither rubbed.. My boy had 20's on his show car with rolled fenders but the tires were crazy expensive. i dont think they will rub unless u slam it.

19s on a Passat? Yes

19s on a Civic? No f*ckin way!
