Rims on Stock tires

[hoanger]

Hey guys, I have a ton of questions about modding my car, so I might as well get it all out now.

So since I have the DX-G trim coupe, it comes with tire covers that are 15". If I were to get 15" rims would they be able to put them on the stock tires that the tire covers were originally on? I don't want to go super big on rims, I just hate the look of the tire covers and I think 15" would suffice.

Thanks

itd look lame, no offense.

just get a nice 17'' wheel and some sticky tires. then you can have your standard wheels for the winter (if applicable)

As long as the width of the new rim is the same as the width of your stock rim, you'll be able to use the stock tires on the new rims. 15" wheels look awkward in most people's eyes. Good luck finding something that suits you well.

15" is harsh ugly.. dont regret doing it
go with 17" or 18".. since u like ur rims small get 17" at the smallest

hmm is it really?
I thought it wouldn't look too bad... my friend has 15" rims on his integra and I thought it looked okay... He's kind of JDM, and that was the look I wanted to go for.
But i guess i cant compare the 06 civic to a '90 integra
looks like im gonna be pulling a bunch of money out of my ass for tires

I have the same problem, cuz im sooo used to having 15 or 16' jdm stle rims on my past honda's that 17's just sound to "show" for me. But if u think about it with the 06 civics wide front fenders and sleeks looks, i think 17's would suit it well. Plus u can use ur steelies for winter like im gonna
