Someone else probably already figured this out, but just in case, 2001-13 Mini Cooper spare tire rims allow you to run a 125r15 Michelin X or similar tire on 88-91 civics. Nearly identical outside tire diameter, a lot skinnier for reduced rolling friction and less air drag.

Also improves steering if you have deleted power steering, makes it easier to turn wheel in a parking lot!
