Default they dont make azenis in my size, whats a decent tire???

i need a set of 205/45/16's. i wanted azenis but they dont make my size it appears. what is decent tire for the money i can get?? this will be going on a civic hatch, if there is a size that will fit without rubbing let me know it will be lowered eventually about 1.5 inches. i can get 215/45's or 205/55's will either work??? ive always run 17's or 18's so i dont know

You could try the Hankook K104.

Your size is on their list. I have driven some 240s with them and I was very happy with them.

go with 215/45/16. ideally, 215/40/16 is closer to the stock diameter, but the 45 profile will do.

you can go with either 215 40 16 or 205 45 16. i've used both and both are good. you won't have a problem with rubbing if you're only lowering 1.5"

If your wheel offset is no more than 40mm then a 215 will be fine. However, if you've got more than that, I'd stick with a 205 tire if I were you.
