my car seems quite a bit taller now and it rubs a little. also these are 1-2 pounds heavier than the stock wheels and tires.

are/where you lowered? if you are lowered with coilovers raise them up a little if not then you are going to have to cut away some of the plastic lining in the wheel well so that you don't ruin the new tires.

Looks way better and it goes good with your car color. These (size)rims and tires improve traction and response that I can now see how crap stock suspenions are. Nice choice.

16"s eh? not bad, i like it.
personally i would have went with silver, but i think your ride looks good.
yep, you should have went with 40 series tires. my 17"s only rub on the front passenger side and it is tearing the tire up. :mad:

Those look real nice on your Civic. They look so much like mine, except mine is red with white 17s. I like white wheels, dunno why. I'm betting ur ride is alot smoother, and living in pothole haven Michigan, I probably should've went 16in as well. But again it looks nice.

that should work, but get this: my cousin had his old 5th gen coupe slammed on 16"s with 40 series tires, and it didn't rub at all. ;)
