6th gen civics the tein s-techs with 1.9F/1.7R works the best with 205/40/17. that's my setup, as well as many other civic owners with 6th gen civics. PERFECT drop...not TOO low where u have to slow down to 1/2 mph to go over cracks in the road, but not sitting too high where it looks like a monster truck.

also, no rubbing issues at all. it's just beautiful. If you want more pics, you can prolly find some of my ride at socalcivic. u can just PM me there or something if u want me to send u pics so u can see...i have a 98 civic EX coupe with tein s-techs and same wheel size. U can see a pic of my car in my sig too, if it helps u any
