Actually if I remember right:

1980s-1991 Civics stock size was 185/60x14". So you could go to 195/50x15" or 205/50x15"

1992-2001 Civics stock size was 185/65x14". So you could go to a 195/55x15" or 205/50x15".

Edit: wait.....am i retarded or something or are the GSR rims and Si rims 15?

gsr rims, ls meshes, si's, and the new civic 5-spoke rims are all 15s.

the stock 14s come on del slows and the civic hx's. The hx would be a great wheel to run (light weight, and cheap too)

don't get 195/55/15, the sidewalls on those are huge. Go with 195/50/15 or 205/50/15. If u wanna stay with 14's find some cheap ass civic HX wheels and some 195/60/14.

50 series and 55 series look almost identical. PLus he asked to keep everything working right (odometer and speedo). And you post 60 series tires which are larger than 50 and 55.

If you are going to recommend wrong info don't post here.
