16" spoon wheels? which tire size?

I currently run 205/40/16 azenis on my spoons but the sidewall is way too thin. Which tires do you reccomend for me since they dont make the 215/45/16 azenis anymore. the wheels are 16x7 i was just gonna go with a 205/45/16 and call it a day. The wheels are on a EM1. Any suggestions/reccomendations?

jhpusa recently added Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212 Tires (205/45/16) tires to their catalog....http://www.jhpusa.com/catalog/...=1067

they also sell it in the 215/45/16 format as well

Yes, 205/45-16 is the right size for your Civic. 215/45-16 will also work but has a greater chance of rubbing.

If you're looking for the very best street tire in 205/45-16, my recommendation is the Goodyear F1 GS-D3. The Goodyear came in first in the test of eleven top-of-the-line street tires in the current (December) issue of Car and Driver. (The Hankook Z212 finished mid-pack.) The F1 GS-D3 is also first in user survey ratings of 24 different tires in the Tire Rack's top performance category for street tires. The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is $131/tire in 205/45-16 at the Tire Rack.
