You can run a 195 wide tire safely if the specs on the tire allow for it. Some high end sports cars come with a slight stretch off the showroom floor

very solid progress. im glad to see you saved this civic from the jdm-whorelords. clear fogs w/clear sidemarkers
is going to look super clean! ctr lip is a must on 96-98, for some reason 96-98's always look better with lips. 99-00's
not so much, to me, only the si lip looks clean on them. ha thats funny i went from a 97 to a 99 ej and you went the
opposite, im starting to miss my ej6 :(

i may have missed you talking about engine plans? whats gonna happen to that SOHC?? sorry if i make you repeat it

well stretching a 50 on a 45 wont help much with the ownage part. but i get what your saying. i run a 195/45 on an 8 and the stretch is barely noticeable so you really wont notice. if you want a slight stretch on a 7 id recommend 165 or 175 to be honest. use this to get some ideas on the stretch you will get.

I have tossed a few ideas around. I really want a b series just for the fact its simple/fun/ easy to boost and responsive. But i dont know yet.

Well got another job interview at another place now...so i should be making more money than my current job which is a + interview tomorrow at 3pm wish me luck

on a side note...im really torn on which side markers i want to purchase. I love them both, i had amber on my VSM coupe but for some reason i think on this one i want clear because i have clear foglights, however the fog lights might be removed soon, i want the exterior done already. HELP. ME. DEDIDE. clear or amber folks??

ive always been a fan of amber sidemarkers and oem tails with amber signals. i think it just depends on your setup and if you can tie it in to flow

OEM Stanley amber side markers all the way, man. For me nothing else is even an option. I know a few garages that sell some, but they're all located in California.
