20's on a civic? - HondaClub.com

Fastnasty · 12-03-2007, 01:37 PM

Im looking into putting wheels on my white 01 ex 4dr. I found some 20's that are black and machined. They are only 7.5 wide. Think there would be rubbing issues with 215/30/20 tires on it. Sitting stock ride height with no plans to lower.

Naw dude NO DUBZ!

You must gonna put 20 series tires on it and lift your suspension. otherwise be prepared to have tranny issues and hollowing your wheel-wells and axle upgrading. It would problably look nice but is it really worth the money? Id stick with 17"or 18" s. I have 15's and loving it on 50-series.

please no, 20s are just too big for a civic

**EyesofFreedom** · 12-03-2007, 04:32 PM

totally...I wouldnt go anything bigger than an 18 on an ES series...

The most I would go is 18's, Ive seen hondas where ppl have put 20's and it just looks nasty. I prefer the lowrider look, the lower the better.

i personally wouldnt go bigger than 16s.. 20s will be too big and it will be sittin way too high hondas arent made to ride high they made to ride low and take turns like a champ at 60+ mph

i confess... I did try a neighbor's 20's on my civic about 5 years ago.... looked like crap !!!

**DriftMaster** · 12-03-2007, 10:26 PM

NO 20s!!!!! (unles you like major car problems and being ridiculed! no offence)

I'm doing 16s and they are very perfect.

The biggest I would go is 17", 18" at the most!!
Use this to view wheels and sizes on your car. There are a few 20s in there, and you can't even see the tire!

I totally agree with dre,and SiGirl 15's are best because of weight,speed and an upgraded look. You can't go wrong.

I have known of 2 Civics around town that have 20s. One is stock height and they rub. Then the other guy has bags. So his looks sick when he parks it, but riding around it is jacked up to the max so he doesn't rub. So its all up to you bro. Good luck
