CarloSW2,
That's an interesting 5th gear mod and would be perfect for what I want to accomplish. Unfortunately, the only Civic transmission mod that I could realistically make would be to replace the long geared D16Y7 transmission with a shorter geared D16Y8 transmission, but this is contrary to the philosophy du jour.
Since I'm leaning towards the 195 tire size anyway, the options are really narrowed down to:
195/65 R14 OD=24 inches = ~+2%
195/70 R14 OD=24.7 inches = ~+5%
What I may do is get single 195/70 mounted to see if it fits. If it does, then I can buy the other 3. If it doesn't fit, then the 195/65's will probably fit, so the worst case is that I eat the cost of one tire mounting.
