Just cheap Kumho ECSTA Supra 712. Came with it when I bought the package used.
I am thinking next summer go back to JDM Oem size of 215-45-16 from Dunlop Direzza DZ101.

Rims came off the boat with these tires.........I'll probably be changing them to a lower profile next year since one tire blew and you can't buy RE-01 replacements here.
No rubbing issues.....

205/45/16 for me as well on Yoko ES-100s with no rubbing issue on stock height.
Oh by the way lastlude2k1se, are those spoon wheel lugs you got on? If they are can you recommend a place in edmonton or calgary which sells them?

They were the spoon lugs......that was just temporary, if you notice in the first pic I am using the OEM lugs.

Re: OT What tire size are you running on JDM 16's (94rs-turbo)
The best match is either 205/45-16 or 215/45-16. Here is how the outer diameters of the various sizes mentioned in this topic compare with USM stock:
195/55-15 (stock)
205/45-16 -0.8 percent
215/45-16 +0.7 percent
215/40-16 -2.9 percent
205/40-16 -4.2 percent
205/50-16 +2.7 percent
225/45-16 +2.3 percent
From these numbers, you can see why those two sizes are a better fit than the others.
In choosing between those two, it may depend on which tire you want to use; there are more tires available in 205/45 than 215/45.

You're never going to have a rubbing issue when you use a tire size that is much too small. But there are other reasons for choosing the 205/45 or 215/45 rather than the undersized 205/40, which is a good size for many older Civics.
