if you're not lowered.

i run 55 sidewall height on my 99 ex

nub

205/45/16 here. I ran 40's and they were a little harsh. Like stated above if youre not dropped very much run the bigger sidewall. Something else to keep in mind is there arent a lot of tire choices in a 205/40/45/16

The best size to run would be a 215/40R16. This tire is EXACTLY the same diameter as the stock OE tire size (185/60R14) of 22.7inches.
