Dude... what??? 215 is WAAAY too thin for a 9" wide wheel! If you want to get 215 tires than just get wheels that are 7-7.5" wide. 9" wide is rediculously huge for a civic...

You still should leave them the same size. 9 is way to big.

Get wheel spacers and extended wheel studs to fill in the space for your widebody
