Hi I'm new to here and also a new...93 honda civic ex(4DR) owner!!!I would like to know what size rims and tires I should go with?I'm buying some coil overs and plan on droping the car 3-4 inchs...I'm thinking of 17's or 18's...but I want to know what will look better or work well when dropped 3-4 inchs?I also seen some 19's I really liked but I'm thinking it wont be do-able when dropped that low?Thanks.

 

15's or 16's is my pick on a 205 45 r16 is the tire but that's just me.Welcome to the forum

 

Welcome

Ill go 17 or 16...........but a 3-4 inch drop, thats alot,
are you planing to run airbags?

 

Just coil overs...any brand that I should get or are the ebay ones good enough?I like the look of low car thats why I want to drop it 3-4 inch's!!!Just need to know what size rims will work well with 3-4 inch's of drop?Thanks.

 

if your looking to that large of a drop i would do 16 or 15...i always run 15 but 16 you could get away with

 

I wouldn't recommend ebay, you do get what you pay for. Look up Ksports, there is a group buy at http://eghatchback.com/viewtopic.php?t=3070

They are 600.00 shipped. 300.00 up front and the other half before he ships. It's a good deal, but it's your preference.

I agree with those guy's, don't go above 16", it will just be more problems. Welcome Aboard!!!

 

wow 3-4 inches? If you drop your car 4 inches I don't even know how you're gonna drive on the street. Definitely don't go with the 18's or 19's. They will look too big. 17's is the biggest I would go on a civic and I don't think that would work with a 4" drop. You'd probably be rubbing pretty badly. 15's will probably be best for the type of drop you want, although 16's would look better IMO if you were willing to sacrifice a little bit of your drop. Another thing, don't just put some coilover sleeves on the stock shocks. You're going to want to buy some shocks from a quality company and buy some quality coilover sleeves also. Or buy a true coilover suspension setup. It's going to cost you. The cheap ebay stuff isn't going to work. You know that you can still have the look of a low car without that large of a drop right?

 

^very true. since you have mentioned 17's, 18's or even 19's (jesus lol!) it seems like u want to go big but 17'swill beplenty big for your car. i wouldn't go any bigger.

 

Thanks for all the advise...greatly needed,I think the 16-17" is what I'll be looking into now,16's just might do the trick!!!...Thanks again.

 

ok here is my input on dropping your car that low, if you want it that low you will have to get like 15s or 16s my car is extremely low and my 15s still rub. i need to raise my car up because it is dropped to much.
