WHat kind of car do you have??? 40 Series on a 16 usually look gay. Do a 45 Series they handle great and look good.

not gay, just a little small. i think a little bigger sidwall would look better.

don't get 50's, they look like this https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif monster tires..(i bought the wheels with these tires)

http://www.jtuned.com/media/gallery%...uad%2F05%2Ejpg

i'd say get 45's. 40's are too low profile and the ride is rough..

Get 45s, 40s have a horrible ride and road noise, and look a little too low profile

45s are perfect... 40s are a bit loud and harsh

Re: (plusONErandy)
 
Get 45s, they ride better. But if you want to slam the car, I'd say get 40s.

205-45-16's......

bbarbulo 01-12-2005 10:56 AM

I've had both... 40s LOOK hot... 45s RIDE nice.

I scrapped the 40s and went to a 45. Sacrifice some look, but gain some functionality, but functionality in itself is beautiful.

&lt;-- avitar is on 40s

Re: (collateral)
 
yeah my cars not slammed...its riding on the stock 15 inch rims with 195/55/15 mich pilots and its lowered to where the lip of the fender is sittin rite on top of the tire...so im switching to a 16 inch rim so of course i gotta go lower profile so u think with that description the 205/45/16's will fill the wheel wells perfect? https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif or https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

WhoisDan 01-12-2005 11:01 AM

45's. Loved them with my 16's.

Re: (dohc-nyne)

j_ambrose 01-12-2005 12:58 PM

word. i had 45's on my 93 hatch and they rubbed a little in the back.

45 series is better IMO.... 40 series on an integ just looks small especially if u dont slam it. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

205/45/16 is a good set up for daily driving..I had them on my car but they do tend to rub a little when you turn hard into a corner..... old pic from 2+ years ago with a 2 inch drop
