Default Tire height for 16" wheels

Gonna run autox this year for the first time. Setup: 98 Civic EX coupe,I/H/E, Koni yellows, Neuspeed Race springs, f/r strut bars, and rear sway.

??? What height should I run with my tires?? 40,45 or 50

I will be probably running at least 2 events this year. Other than that I want a decent ride for the street with a good look. Obviously I'd like the 40's for looks but I still want good performance at the track. ANY input would be appreciated!!

What brand? You may not have all those options depending on the brand. The 40's would probably be best, although you'll still probably rub a fender occasionally. I'd get whatever you personally prefer because it won't make a lot of difference in terms of autox performance. Plus if you become an autox junky, then chances are you'll be getting a dedicated set of wheels and tires for it. Depending on the class you run, they'll probably be more like 13".

I haven't even raced yet and I'm already having withdrawal symptoms!
