#353240 I am thinking of buying my friends Mugen Rep wheels they are 16" idk by what, and i test fitted them but the tire was way to big it rubbed like crazy (you can check on my thread for pics pg.5), so if i wanna run the 16" wheel what tire size should i look into buying? ill need small 16'' tires im trying not to roll my fenders if i HAVE to i will, thanks!

#353245 What size does he have on it now? I had 16s on my old coupe and I was running 215/40r16 Yokohama S. Drives they were great tires (A little pricey) and I had no issues with fitting them on the car and I was tucking the tire on Mugen knock offs. I can't seem to find any pictures of the car on my work PC.

#353246 Just say the pic's of the car with the wheels. You could use a wide variety of sizes. What is you plan ?
Slammed or Comfort ?
195/40-16
195/45-16
205/40-16
205/45-16
205/50-16
215/40-16
215/45-16

All depends on how low you are going to put the car.

#353257 Had 215/45/16 on my old hatch. Honestly on a hatch a prefer a 15" with a meaty tire. I run the 225/50/15 Mickey Thompson DOT radial now and I love the look of it, even on a coupe

Ill , What offset r your wheels ?
I have had 205/45 on many civic in the past with no rub.
Hell, I had at one time 19 on the car.
215/35/19 with airbags when that was pop.
