And no, I haven't been on wheels larger than 16-17's on a civic but (IS300=19's=no slowdown).
All I want to know is will 215/35/19's rub with a 2.5" drop??
Thanks,

Let's see:
1992-1995 Civic Si hb has about 125hp and 107ft/lbs of torque
2001 IS300 has 215 bhp Torque: 218 lb-ft
even the 1999-2000 Civic Si has 160hp and 111 ft/lbs of torque
Can't you see that? Or do we have to go around in circles over and over? 80 more hp and 111 more ft/lbs of torque.
So you mean to tell me if you put 19s on a IS300 and 19s on a Geo Metro both of them will not be affected by the heavy ass 19s? So tell me will putting 24" wheels/tires on your IS300 and then on a Dodge Viper RT/10 both cars will not be affected by the 24" wheels/tires?
WAKE UP! SHEESH!
But yes without rolling the fenders and/or modifying the fenders you will rub with 215/35x19" wheels and tires.

Thanks for the last sentence though.
BTW, that was two horriable comparisions with the IS300 and the Metro. I understand what you're saying but the civic and IS330 are much more compariable than the IS300 and the Metro. Also that 24" wheels/tires wasn't to helpful either.
CivicSiRacer, I respect you and your post and I have to admit that you are very helpful, but don't get to sarcastic with it.
Post count doesn't mean much you know. I'm sure you know that though. Just b/c I haven't had much experience with this setup (215/35/19's on a 2000 civic EX dumped 2.5") doesn't mean I'm clueless; trust me, I'm not.

Ask anyone in the SCCA/Speed Touring car series if they use 19s. They'd prolly laugh in your face. Ask all the drag racers who uses 19s. And then you should see what size wheels they ARE using.

And yes 215/35x19" is large. You have to take into consideration the aspect ratio too.
But you sound like you want ot do it anyway so why ask? Just go ahead and get them.
