bingo. That is the closest to your stock diameter and width.

However, just double check in the Falken Azenis 615 spec sheet if 7" is within the 'approved wheel width'. Most 205/40-16s have an approved width of 7-8" but I am not to sure about the Falken, just double check.

Cheers.

Please tell me that living in "QC" you do not plan to use these tires in the snow.

I'm in the same situation. 205/45/16 would be closer to my stock size of 195/55/15 however RT-615 does not come in that size yet, so i'm rocking 205/40/16 on 16x7" Buddy Club SF which aer going on the car when weather is above 10c here, so 2-3 weeks.

205/40/16 is smaller at 22.5" overall, and will throw off the speedo/odometre 4.XX % but so long as your aware of the speedo being off and the fact it will give slighlty taller gearing, your call.

The stock size for your car is 195/55-15, right? Then get 215/45-16, which is only about 0.8 percent larger in outer diameter than stock.

205/40-16 is WAY too small for a car that takes 195/55-15 stock.

The stock size for the 2000 EX Coupe is 185/65-14, which has exactly the same outer diameter as 195/55-15 (which is the stock size for the 2000 Si Coupe). Sounds like the previous owner put oversized tires on your car.

The best matching 16" sizes for your car are 205/45-16 and 215/45-16. Of those two sizes, the Azenis RT-615 is available only in 215/45-16, so that's what you should get.

Bad advice. Using oversized tires can result in rubbing, slower acceleration, and inaccuracy of the speedometer and odometer.

You'll have to try it to be sure, but I'm guessing probably not. The '94-01 Integras have 185/65-14 or 195/55-15 stock tires (depending on model) and 215/45-16 fits without rubbing.

215/45-16 won't rub on your Integra (assuming you get wheels with the proper offset). Lots of Integra folks got the 215/45 RT-215 and are getting the 215/45 RT-615 now that it's available.

They are already available now.

Vulcan has them on their website. Other places may not have updated their websites yet, but they should be able to get them.
