was wondering if anyone knew if a 235/50/16 would rub on my 06 ex, or do you think i will be alright

 

what size are the wheels? that seems awfully wide to me...

 

So it sounds like you just want to put a bigger tire on your stock wheel....correct?
If so....it's not gonna work... For 2 reasons, first, the stock wheel is not wide enough to accommodate 235mm's of tire. Secondly, it's too tall, almost an inch.
Now, if your gonna replace tires AND wheels...consider a 7.5 wide, and maybe a 225, instead of a 235.

 

do u think the 225 would be to wide for the stock wheel???

 

The best tire size for the stock wheel, is the size thats on the car..........

 

Best is such a brod term, the stock size tire is the best for ride quality and lack of road/tire noise but I can name a couple reasons a different tire size is needed. Also you would be hard pressed to fit a 235 tire under a civic, actually you are pushing it at 225

 

Maybe ill just sell them and get some new 16s

 

so would a 225 fit on my stock 16s?

 

They are quite wide, the tire will have that "pinched" look, and the sidewalls will be rolled, rounded, instead of flat. If you have to have a wider tire....get new wheels.

 

bringing this thread from the dead, i have aftermarket 16x7 wheels on my 95 coupe, and with traction problems from the turbo, im looking to go bigger tires too. since a 7" wheel can fit a 225 width tire, do u think id have problems rubbing? looking at 225/50/16's on the front, and keeping my 205/40/16 on the back. thanks!

btw, its stock ride heigh, no lowering
