Default 5gen EX wheels

Wats up guys. Today I got my set of 94 ex wheels. Unfortunatelly I only got the rims and no tires. In a couple days Im planning to get new tires and mount the wheels on my car. My question is what size tires should i get? Whats the widest size tires that I can get? Any suggestions are welcomed.

I have 195/60/15 kumho tires, im sure you could fit 205's on there, I think 215's would be pushing it.

try to get as wide as a tire as you can. It will have better traction and will also help prevent damage if you come into contact with a curb. Check out whalentire.com. That is where I got my kumho's. Hella good prices.

Doesn't the OE JDM SiR have 205/55/15 on the US 7-spoke EX wheels?

Si-R rims look kinda like the 96-97 EX coupe rims, but with exposed lugs instead of covered. they were probably 15x6or6.5 like 4g lude rims

^those wheels look darker than the USDM ones

anyways i run 205 55 15s and so do many others, they work fine. just make sure that they are approved to fit 5.5 inch wheels. i personally look at tirerack.com and they have these specs for each tire.

some tires that will fit are:

dunlop SP5000s
dunlop FM901s
kumho 712s
