the stock tire size on a 7th gen civic with si rims is 190/65/15!!! (or something close to that)
i found this out after trying to figure out why his drop was the same as mine but his rubbed alot on his 6th gen ex
Yeah, the stock rubber sizes on the 7th gen civics are quite larger than what were used to. I know that he could probably stick a huge tire under there, despite being 17's, but the speedo is gonna be so off. Trying to suggest a size that is both comfortable to ride in and won't throw off the speedometer as much.
