Default 16X7 on 00 si

I have a ebp 00 si, and I am looking to get some new wheels in 16x7 and i am pretty much set on some bronze c8's. I have the eibach pro-kit, what size tire do you guys recomend?..I am thinking between 205/45 and 215/45. I just don't want rubbing. These are just going to be my daily drivers, I have other wheels for track days.

Go with the 205s. 215 is pushing it on an EK without fender rolling.

just out of curiosity on a 98 Civic Ex I was told that a 235 is as big as you could get by with. Does this sound about right?

I second that. I know someone who does race with a 215, but it doesn't quite fit with a drop, and the fenders needed to be rolled. I've heard of someone running a 225 at an autocross, but the car was raised, fenders rolled, and it had a weird offset on the rims.
