why should he get bigger rims? maybe he wants small light wheels. Don't give useless opinions, try to make posts that are worth reading.
Anyways, I looked up tirerack.com and found some reviews for you. They seem like excellent tires from what I've read, and these reviews are all real, not fake testimonials at all.

Personally I have 15's. Most 17's are way to heavy and ride like crap. 16's offer a good balance of looks, weight and handling. 13" tires are cheap too.

i have 15's as well....Dumbassi's old SIR's in fact. I used to have 17's, which look great on a civic, are too big and heavy in my opinion. Since the tire profile is so small i had to balance them every 3 months from all of the crappy roads here in hamilton.
I use 205/50/15. Since you would be using 185/70/13 i would suggest gettin a tire with a very stiff sidewall b/c the side wall will be rather large with your tire selection. A stiffer side wall will give you better handling through the corners. The downside of a stiffer sidewall is harder ride.
Yokohama Avid T4 is a very good tire, and was among one of the few i was considering, along with Falken Azenis and Dunlop Sports.

yes it does!, the bigger your rim the bigger your Tire will have to be!
You know what i'm trying to say!
OH ya FYI, some cool stuff, well your driving the friction from the tire and the road, cause it to get hot enough that it bends the road under neath it a bit

The overall diameter of the tire remains the same if you use the correct size. 205/50/15 is the virtually the same size as a 205/40/17. The rim is bigger and the sidewall is shorter, but the tire is the same size around.
