My friend recently gave me these wheels he had on his 94 accord. They are pretty dirty but i was gonna clean them up and put them on my stock height 94 civic. The thing is two tires are old and cracked, and the other two are in good shape. The tires are currently 205/55r16, so should i just replace the two tires now or get 4 new lower profile tires?

that's too much sidewall for a civic.
with a 16" rim, you should use a 205/40R16 on a 92-95 civic.

Your speedometer will be way off with those and you'll rub if you're lowered.

here's a calculator that tells you how much your speedo would be off:

accord rims don't fit on a civic. Accord is 4x114 like a 240, not 4x100.

edit: nevermind, now that I look they are universals. :roll:
