if memory serves me right a 94-00 takes either a 215-45r16 or a 205-45r16
older civic took a 205-40r16

205/45-16. That size tire should be approved for a 6.5" - 7" wide rim so you are okay there. However I do not guarentee that they will not rub seeing as you are getting a tire that is 20mm wider than stock(which is normally okay) and have suspension mods. Try asking someone out there who has a similar set up.

Well, for example, the stock tire will change on an Accord depending if it is an EX, a coupe, a V6, a 4cyl...etc. With a hatch it shouldn't matter though.

Cheers.
