- Thu Nov 08, 2007 1:32 pm #29050 I agree, 205-45-16 tires are perfect for 16" rims.

I agree, 205-45-16 tires are perfect for 16" rims.

205/45/16 will give you the closest outside diameter to the stock EK tire size of 185/65/14.

205/40/16 will give you the closest outside diameter to the stock EG site size of 185/60/14.

But either size will work on an EG just fine

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

i'm beginning to lose hope on you.



205/40/16 will allow your speedometer to read correctly.

205/45/16 is a little off but not by alot 1-2mph at 100mph.

205/50/16 is just off. way too big.

- Sat Nov 10, 2007 5:00 am #29288 Your best bet to get rid of the rubbing is to get smaller rims. 14s or 15s.

- Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:28 pm #29335 I have 15s with 195/50's and they rubbed on the drivers rear, but it turned out that the quarter was replaced before i got the car and the replacement was too wide. But we are all good now, just trimmed the fender down some

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither
