All. I'm looking into installing an Eibach Sportline lowering kit...about a 2" drop. My question is this: I also want to change out the stock wheels/tires, but I'm concerned about wheel/tire clearance after the drop. What wheel/tire size combination might best fit with the lowering kit and not peel rubber off in a turn?

Oh (duh) the ride is a stock '05 Civic (VP) coupe.

Thanks for any help.

 

I droped my 94 civic 1.75-2" and I put 195/50 15's under there but I don't think I could have gone any bigger unless I wanted no rim protection.... Those tuck in pretty good...

 

i know on my 92 civic hatch i had 17s with a 3.25in drop in the front and a 2inch drop in the back and i never had any problems with rubbing had about an inch for clearence. I got 15's on now and they look perfect for your car i would recomend some 16's and the 2 inch drop, you will be happy with it

 

even the stock tires would look good with the car lowered. i dropped my old del sol 3 inches and used my winter tires 170/70r13 on stock 13' silver steel wheels and it looked bad a**

 

Thanks everybody.... good info to go by. Later...

 

i have 16's on my civic (2000 si ) and i honestly have no clue what i want to do about lowering my car. are these springs a good idea? if so, do i need to buy anything else to go along with it?
