QUOTE(romuluz777 @ Mar 30 2015, 06:06 PM) Civic FD You can try any size using tire calculator to maintain radial size as close as possible to original so that the speedometer stays correct. Make sure it won't hit the car body during full steering turn or fender on bump. The only thing matter is that you pay for insurance but the insurance will not pay for damage if you modified your car beyond manufacturer recommended limit  |
