Tire size for 16 x 7 wheels on a Teg
I'm getting 16x7 wheels with +40 offset for my Teg.
(1)205/45/16 or (2) 215/45/16 Falkens
My drop is less than two inches.
Here is my car as it sits now with 205/55/15s.
Please post pics with tire & rim size.
Thanks

You won't see any difference in performance between the 2!</TD></TR></TABLE>
I'm worry about them rubbing or the side wall being too high or too low. I used to have 17s with 205/40/17s.

If a 215/45-16 rubs, then you might have the wrong offset on your wheels.
When I was tucking tire (sigh, never do that again) with 205/45-16s (very little difference in size between a 215/45-16, and both are more or less correct for an Integra), I only had rubbing in the front at full lock, with considerable suspension bump. Meaning, I only rubbed when turning into a driveway with the steering at full lock and extra people in the car.
I also had no rubbing issues during autocross, even that low. However, the car's balance was horrible with the front sitting on the bumpstops like that.

Neither size will rub, as long as your wheels have the proper offset.
However, 205/55-15 is too big, about 2 percent larger diameter than the stock tire size. Both 205/45-16 and 215/45-16 are less than 1 percent different from stock.

Switching to 205/50/15 next week!
The order was done by phone so I told them that they mess up the order.

Re: Tire size for 16 x 7 wheels on a Teg (GSR2001)
I would go with 205/45/16, for the simple reason that tires are more readily available and cheaper in that size. 
And fyi, that appears to be a 99-00 civic si/ ctr lip on your teg.

Heh I don't know why the picture was necessary. Just pointing out that the 99-00 SI/ CTR lip on your car was intended for a different make/model. That seemed to have rubbed you the wrong way.
An OEM or replica ITR lip would be a far better choice. But I guess like the 205/55/15 tires, you prefer buying parts not intended for your Integra?

RIIIIIIGHT.......
#1 - I'm getting the tires switch to 205/50/15. (phone order mistake)
#2 - I already ordered the Type R lip.
However I don't know where are you getting the part of "buying parts not intended for my Integra".
Is there a set manual to follow for parts that I should put on MY Integra?
or anyboby for that matter.
Spare me the pain, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
