Tire size?
Hello all,
I just bought a 00 civic hatch. I also just ordered my first set (ever) of wheels. I bought 16x7.5 with +35 offset at the recommendation that it would sit flush. Now I'm not so sure. But it's an easy fix with spacers. Now I can't figure out what tire to get. I was hoping I could get some input so that I don't have any clearance/rubbing issues.
I am currently on Sportline springs. And they are staying. The fenders are rolled. It was like this when I got it. I want to fill up the fender wells and get as close the flush as possible while not rubbing and keeping daily driving (I drive a rough interstate to and from everyday.) and I like a LITTLE stretch.
So what size tire do you think would be best? Currently looking at a 205/50/16 at a friends recommendation. Will this look bad/rub? I checked out tyre stretch and I like the look of 195/45/16. But if it doesn't fill the fender well I'm worried it might look ridiculous.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Tire size?
There was a thread about tire sizes not that long if you look trough the pages I'm pretty sure you'll find it. What I got out of it is, stretched tires are a danger to yourself and innocent drivers around you as well. If I fin the thread I'll post the link. That would be my only recommendation.
