Default Will these tires/rims fit my car

Also, will these rims/tires fit my car?

I have a 2002 civic LX sedan.

the overall diameter is too big

i'm not sure about rubbing, but your speedo is gonna be 4% off, which is quite a bit
recommended tire size changes are maxnimum 3% difference from stock

yea and now that jpnolan mentions it, i think those are 5 lug and you have 4 lug
is that correct?

'92-'04 Civics have 4on100MM and in 2005 they went to 5on114.3MM (same as Accord and 5th gen Prelude).

They are 4 lug bolt pattern. Maybe she didn't have them on a Civic SI. Here's a link to the tires

Currently my car has 195/60/R15 and I don't have any rubbing issues.

To correct the 4% speedo difference, can you re-configure the computer?

yes but that's not the only problem
they'll probably rub


just get your current tires put onto those rims

it looks like the rims themselves will fit, since they have the 4 lug pattern
