Do 15"s look too small on EPs?

[JapanExpress]

I'm thinking of doing a 1.5" drop on my car, and I've been looking at 15" wheels. Would that look alright? Should I get a smaller and wider tire? I don't want to sacrifice any ride quality and I want to be able to afford to fix a tire if it messes up.

Anyone running a similar setup?

[civic hatch boi]

it hink 15's look a little small.. 16's are ok.

[BlackFL2k2Si]

I think they are way too small. Just my opinion though of course.

[kcx23]

too small

[Civicvtec1ps]

once car is dropped. looks tight imo
17s should be biggest..

[Suk02Si]

yeah 15s look small, but I'm getting them anyway:D I want to use 225/45/15s:eek:

[cj miller]

i liked my car dropped on my stick 15's and i like it on my 17's. i didnt even change the drop. jsut the tire size.

Agree 100%, saw stockies on a slammed EP a few days ago, i really liked the way they looked...1.5 drop...

now the other night i saw a slammed ep with like a 2.5 drop on stockies, it looked SOOO ghetto, but thats my .02

I dont think 15" look too bad.

i think it's 1.8"...
my tires are 205/55/15 so they're shorter than they should be, normally the car would have less gap...

[KickerSi]

15's dont look toooo bad. I had LS rims on my car with 45 series tires. If I could post a pic I would. I reccomend not to get 45 series tires, just look too skinny.

[bloo_ep3]

just get whatever you want on you car, its your car, i think anything from 15-17 look awsome

[silver ep]

I don't think they look all that bad. I'd still like to get 16s or 17s down the road. Heres a pic of my ride on stockies:

I thought they looked small when I first got the car...but after going to a meet where everyone was droped on stock wheels they looked really good...it's an opinion thing. Plus, if you get a perfect drop(just the right size), they'll look great.

[02TafWhtSi]

Wow Paxie, that looks great! :)

[mental]

uhh... 15s are too small for a fucken tricycle!!! go 18!!!!:D :D :D

[StrangeShadow]

pax...that's beautiful...especially w/the wing

[bobdobbs]

Pictures like these make me want an EP3. ;)

Paxie and Silver EP, what did you use to get your drop?

[CleanBlackSi02]

Aftermarket 15's will definitely look small. The stocks look a bit small too, but work with the factory height as well as with a drop. Just get good tires for the factory wheels if you want 15's.

[silver ep]

Paxie and Silver EP, what did you use to get your drop?

Ive got a set of KW V2 full coilovers. Ive got about a finger and a half gap front and back.

[stephen]

15s look perfectly fine.

[MrCivic03]

hey has ne one used them tein s springs off the showstoppers site bc i wanted to see pics of the drop if ne one got it or other lowerin springs.

[BlasTech]

My order of preference in sizes in order from favorite to least favorite (looks only):

1. 16"
2. 17" and 15" tied
3. 18"+

Just my opinion though, and it depends on the specific wheels, tires, and drop.

[Brettnyt]

Yeah, way too small... I want 17"s or 18"s, prolly 18"s

[chunky]

they look great to me.

see signature for picture.

[SoCaLep3]

go for 17's theyll fill the gap out very nicely

I got 17s and they didn't fill my gap at all. The outside diameter of the tire is the same as the stock tires so how can they fill it? I guess they are wider so that looks like it's filled a little but. I think the 15's do look way to small for an Si though.

[StrangeShadow]

hahaha they don't fill monkeys w/out a drop!

[bryan]

So does anyone have pics of an si with aftermarket 15's?

[StrangeShadow]

...umm...adam just posted some...on this same thread...I think blastech might have some konig heliums that are 15'...not sure if it was him...

[LHD_EP3]

I think 15s look kinda small, I would go with 16s but no bigger.
Here's some pics of mine w/15 in Rota C10s
