What's the thickest front tires you can put on a stock 5th gen civic?

14" stock hubs.

I know 205s will fit, can i go 215 without rubbin on turns?

With my 185's rite now, 2nd gear spin is almost 2 seconds worth..

Thanks.

215 is a guideline Cablerat...tire widths vary manufacturer to manufacturer, product to product... really a 205 tire could be 195 mm wide or 215 mm wide, but it's classified as a 205 for sales strategies and aspect ratio guidelines. There is a website you can search for where they list ACTUAL vs. CLAIMED tire width... as a matter of fact, I think it was on a Saturn page... I'll see if I can find it. Besides that, the stock rims are 5 inches wide... do you really wanna be stretching a 215 tire over a 5 inch rim... methinks not. Besides that, I have a tough time thinking off the top of my head about who makes a 215/50/14 tire assming stock tire size of the Si which was 185/65/14 I would think.

I have Toyo RA-1 205-50/15's on mine and there is no rubbing. I know someone with Toyo RA-1 225-50/15's and there is no rubbing (fenders rolled and stiff jic coilovers). Another buddy has 215-45-17 on his civic and the only rubbing is minimal in the rear because he hasn't rolled the fenders.
