Hmm.......use the 205/45R16 tire. In that size I like the Pirelli P7000, Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, Yoko A520, Dunlop SP9000, and Pirelli P Zero. If you don't care much about wet traction then get the A520 or P Zero. If wet traction matters, then go with one of the others.

If you will be using Tokico "blues" then do not get 205/50/16 tires. The shocks are ok, but not too strong. With the taller tires, you may rub in certain situations. I would stay with 205/45/16 or 205/40/16 if it's a G5 Civic.
