Is anyone running 205 45 16's on an ek with H&R's?

Im about to order my tires and was debating on 40 or 45 series because I dont want to have any rub issues.

My car is currently dropped with H&R's on dropzone shocks. I'm runnin 205 50 15's right now and the tires are tucking already.

Since I dont have any adjustables does anyone think I'd rub with 45 series?

Thanks..

 

205/45-16 should be fine for your '97 Civic. They should not rub.

The outer diameter of a 205/45-16 is less than 0.2 inch larger than 205/50-15. That means the clearance difference (because of the different size) is less than 0.1 inch. Compare this against the 0.25 inch clearance difference between brand new tires and tires that are worn and need replacement.
