Help with HONDA civic tire size?

My 98 civic is lowered with konig 16 inch rims on it. The tire size is 205/45/R16. I'm looking to purchase winter wheels for my car. What size would fit? I'm thinking of purchasing a set of 4 used tires on steelies for $300 with tire size P185/70/R13. Would these fit without any problems?
Forgot to mention its a 98 civic SI canadian, or EX U.S. So its a SOCH vtech.

  1. Yeah I Said IT!! Says:

    the steelies will not fit if you got a doch vtec as the brakes are to big and you will need 14 instead. but if its not a doch vtec then yes they will fit mate.

  2. The 13 will definitely be too small and will cause clearance problems with the brakes and steering components.

    The original sizes for the tires on that car in the U.S. were:
    185/65 R14

    There was no difference on the tires and wheels on the coupe versus the sedan; they are the same sizes

    hope that helps

  3. Go to and use their calculator to see what tire rim combinations fit your car
