I am going to buy tires soon for next season.  I drive a 88-91 Honda
Civic Si in E stock (No negative camber, 5 inch wheels, front wheel
drive, 2200 lbs, 70% front weight).

I have decided on the G- force because the Hoosier needs camber and I
have run Kumho for a season and a half and want a change.

My question is what size?  185/60, 195/60, 205/55 or the 215/?

I have been told that the 215 will fit but can be to big because it will
arch to much.
Is this true?

the 205 seems like the easy answer but I really liked the 195/55 size in
the Kumho.

What about a 205 in the front and a 185 in the rear?  I have seen it
done, is there any real advantage or disadvantage to this?

Thanks,
Heyward Wagner
