Hey all,
I have a civic eg 94 with original rims 14" and 175/65 tires on.
The road handling on this car isn't that good so, will changing the rims to 15" and 195/55 tires make any difference to the handling?
 
If they're heavier....then they're heavier
 
They'll be heavier unless you buy lightweight 15s. But, if your getting a lot of wheel spin now that wider contact patch and more rotational mass may make it hook up better.
 
^^ true

I had 185 60 R14 (del sols) and switch to 15 inch LS mesh with 205 50 R15
I need to launch way higher now in order to get a decent rpm when it hooks up.
 
its the correct size for a 94 Civic.. Integras use the 195/55 as the stock size
