Default Rims?

I've got my 02 civic lx and im thinking about putting rims on it. I read on some website that my tire size is 14x5, but a quick question about that. Could i go bigger on those rims and would they still fit? I know they would fit if i went bigger but what would i need to do to make them fit?

Also if anyone in New Jersey is selling black rims for a decent price, send me a message

i know that, i planned on putting on new tires if i got the rims. the question i had though was if i went up in rim size and tire size could it still fit on the car as is right now or would i have to change the struts or something?

Ah, you said the question was about the 14x5 tires and asked if they would still fit.


If you get the right size tires they will still fit on the car, assuming you don't get huge rims.

What size rims are you talking about?

if you get 15" or 16" wheels shouldn't be a problem with fitment

You might rub tires a little on U-turns with 17" rims. I would recommend going with 16" instead though, it will probably look better and you shouldn't have any fitment issues whatsoever.

drop some 22's on that sum'bitch! nah okay lets be realistic. go with some 16's. they look clean if you get the right kind plus you can have a little more beef on the tire.
