what size of rims would fit on a 99 honda hatchback? is size 15 ok?

yah 15 is okay but 16 and 17 looks better, if you get biger rims your gonna want to get lowering springs a drop it

What kind of Honda is it man? A civic? Accord? If it's a civic I believe that year should handle 15's just fine. The accord definitely would. I wouldn't go much higher than 15 to 16, after that you will have to change your speedometer to accomodate.

15" is GREAT!. Not only will you save a buttload on 15" wheels, but your tires will be much cheaper then 16" or 17" wheels. And hey guess what else...you'll have a smoother ride then 16" or 17" and be less likely to destroy your wheels on the first pot hole you hit. I've always ran 195/50 and 205/50 tires on 15" wheels on all my hondas. I wouldn't have it any other way

i have 17 on my 98 sedan and i hit mini pot holes and lucky enough r fine, but its kinda not a smooth ride, imo just get 16's and lower it and it will look sweet! good luck man!

it's better to have properly sized rims that don't higher your car like i see all those civics and integras running 17's. Run 16 at the largest. 15 being the best. Run a 205/50/15 it will fine and give you the best handling chararistics due to not having a too stiff sidewall or too soft. 45 and 50 series aspect ratios are the best for track duty or autocrossing. Big rims look to ricy and for god's sake make sure they are not chome. What are you thinking the 15inch gsr blades? Those will go well.

15" are great, they look nice on a hatch and saves some money on tires. 16" are good to, but if you go any higher, lowering springs will be good.

He said the car was a Hatchback, track racing, drag racing 15's are great and ride is pefect the bigger the rims get the crappyer the ride is who ever said its other way around is wrong, bigger heavyer wheels put more stress on the oem brakes and tend to cause break fade faster

!5s or 16s are all you need on there you can put a beefer tire on them and it looks way better as well as handling.Go with a 245 50 and your love it.
