i jsut bought a 2005 civic se and want rims on stock height


what is the largest rim size with matching tires (so its close to stock diameter) that i can put on so my car wont look wierd and jacked up

so im gonna keep it on stock suspension with larger diameter rims.

it'll always look wierd and jacked up without lowering, the wheel gap will remain

For that generation Civic....17's.

Beleive me when I say this, anything above 16, you will have a minivan....even 16's are iffy. But 15's are the best way to go. That's why you can easily substitute the SI rims on your car without ever needing a drop.

thank you. i will most likely be looking for SI rims or a nice set of 15s when i got the money. maybe 16s.

for that generation you need pretty big rims and you need to drop it. At stock height, you should be perfectly ok with the 05 si rims or even the older si rims.

Goodluck man....I got the 2000 SI rims on my 97 4d EX. My buddies want to buy them off me...I love em . They make the car look so different than having hubcaps.

here's my 04 with no drop. It looks like crap. i'm running 215/45/17.

If your going to get 17's, get a drop.

btw, I have less wheel gap than a stock civic with stock rims. My overall diameter of the tire is bigger than stock, but still looks like crap.

decision:
stock 15s or some 16s with a larger diameter tire


thanks for your help guys
