I don't think you could be any more wrong. It'll feel less comfortable and look like you're rolling on rubber bands over your rims. Plus unless you live in some magical place where they have perfectly paved roads everywhere, you're a lot more likely to pop youre 40 series profile tires on a pot hole and bend your wheel if you have some cheapo's like rotas. I'd go with a 205/45/16 or 215/45/16

205/45-16 and 215/45-16 are both within 1 percent in diameter of the stock size, so they won't throw off your speedometer and odometer the way the 205/40-16 will.
There are a lot of good tires available in 205/45-16, not many in 215/45-16.
Why are you looking at all-season tires like the Toyo Proxes FZ4 if you live in Miami? Do you travel up north in the winter? All-season tires are designed to be able to handle snow and frigid cold, as well as dry and wet roads in moderate to warm temperatures. In exchange for that flexibility, they don't perform as well in moderate to warm temperatures as summer tires. If you never drive in snow, summer tires (even relatively inexpensive summer tires) will give you much much MUCH better performance than all-season tires.
Two inexpensive summer tires offering great "bang for the buck" are the Kumho SPT in 205/45-16 ($86.30/tire plus shipping at tires-easy.com) and the Yokohama S.drive in 205/45-16 ($90/tire with free shipping at Discount Tire Direct - free shipping saves you $10-14/tire). You can get a little lower performance than the SPT or S.drive at a much lower price with the General Exclaim UHP in 205/45-16 ($68/tire at the Tire Rack, less a $50 rebate which lowers your actual price to $55.50/tire plus shipping). Any of these will give you much better performance than the Toyo FZ4, on dry pavement as well as in rain. Just not in snow.

I think your car looks like one of those "low riders", using undersized tires whose outer diameter matches an older Civic, but is too small for an Integra. But heck, I've seen people do lots of things that don't make sense to their cars, just because they thought they "looked" perfect.
Choosing the proper tire size is more than a matter of looks. The tire size determines the accuracy of your speedometer/odometer, and can affect your fuel economy, rate of acceleration, wheel well clearance, and suspension geometry and handling. That's why it's important to get tires whose outer diameter is close to that of the stock tire size. The 205/45-16 and 215/45-16 are the best matching sizes for an Integra.

Re: WHAT 16 INCH TIRE SIZE?????? (TRENJDM)
205 45 are the best for tuners 205 40s look strange they dont fill up the wheel wells good enough and look like the low riders like the guy was talking about.

Re: WHAT 16 INCH TIRE SIZE?????? (db-1charlie)
By the way, here are the calculated outer diameters of various tire sizes:
195/55-15 - 23.44" (stock size for '94-01 Type R, GS-R, and Special Edition)
195/60-14 - 23.21" (stock size for '94-01 RS, LS)
205/45-16 - 23.26" (-0.8 percent
)
215/45-16 - 23.62" (+0.7 percent )
205/45-16 - 22.46" (-4.2 percent
)
195/55-15 - 23.44" (stock size for '94-01 Type R, GS-R, and Special Edition)
195/60-14 - 23.21" (stock size for '94-01 RS, LS)
205/45-16 - 23.26" (-0.8 percent
)215/45-16 - 23.62" (+0.7 percent

No, they won't. Even if your car is lowered as much as 2", sometimes more, 205/45-16 shouldn't rub, assuming your wheels have the proper offset.

so those are what 16x7 with a +45 to +40 offset so go with a 205/45 or 215 max if your low just roll the fenders.
Offset is key with any wheel choice the lower the better but thats just me.

I get plenty good enough gas mileage and the size difference isn't enough (to me) to notice.
I don't like high sidewall tires, thus why I went with the 40's. Remember, I said " I think it looks perfect."
He wanted to see cars with those 2 tires sizes.. and so far in that respect, I'm the only one who helped him by posting a picture of what happens to be my car.

Did you compensate for the smaller tire size? Remember, your speedo and odo will indicate that you've gone MORE miles than actual, so your MPG figures will look better than actual. In this case, by 4.2%.

Re: WHAT 16 INCH TIRE SIZE?????? (p nut)
i had 205-40-16 and they are a lil cheaper than 205-45-16. butt IMO the 40's ride comfort sucks. lil bumps and other lil things u'll feel. butt i suggest a really strong quality made rim so it wont bend as easy. i'd say go with 205-45-16

If you like the look of shorter sidewalls, the proper way to do it - i.e. without changing the car's suspension geometry - is to get bigger wheels, not undersized tires. For example, with 17" wheels, the diameter of the 205/40-17 size is identical to stock.

Why are you looking at all-season tires like the Toyo Proxes FZ4 if you live in Miami? Do you travel up north in the winter? All-season tires are designed to be able to handle snow and frigid cold, as well as dry and wet roads in moderate to warm temperatures. In exchange for that flexibility, they don't perform as well in moderate to warm temperatures as summer tires. If you never drive in snow, summer tires (even relatively inexpensive summer tires) will give you much much MUCH better performance than all-season tires.
Two inexpensive summer tires offering great "bang for the buck" are the Kumho SPT in 205/45-16 ($86.30/tire plus shipping at tires-easy.com) and the Yokohama S.drive in 205/45-16 ($90/tire with free shipping at Discount Tire Direct - free shipping saves you $10-14/tire). You can get a little lower performance than the SPT or S.drive at a much lower price with the General Exclaim UHP in 205/45-16 ($68/tire at the Tire Rack, less a $50 rebate which lowers your actual price to $55.50/tire plus shipping).

Listen to this guy when it comes to tires, seach for other posts by him too....you will learn alot. BTW I can't find the SPT anywhere, i think it may be discontinued. I don't know why but it seems like they are gone. It was an excellent tire and i don't know why it would be but i can't find it for the life of me anywhere. Speaking of finding performance tires, i'm having a hard time in general finding a 205 45/16 in general. It seems like an easier size to get is the 205 40/16.

4.2%..... 2.5 mph.
Unless my math is wrong (which it could be) I figured up what that adds up to over a course of 237 miles..
I got 42.7 mpg last fill up. My odometer was off about 1/2 mile.

It's not enough difference to matter.
Oh, BTW, I got my math by the following...
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
http://www.metric-conversions....s.htm
195/55/15's have a circumference of 73.7.
205/40/16's have a circumference of 70.5.
So there is 3.2" difference.
195/55/15's go 860.0 revolutions per mile
205/40/16's go 898.0 revolutions per mile.
[/b]38 revolutions per mile difference.[/b]
Every revolution it travels 3.2" LESS than the 195/55's... But it travels 38 revolutions MORE.
So, 38 * 3.2" = 121.6" every mile LESS than the 195/55's.
Say I travel 100 miles.
100 * 121.6" = 12,160"
12,160" converted into miles is .1919 miles.
SO my odometer is off approx .2 miles for every 100 miles I travel.
Who cares???! Over 100000 miles my speedo will be off 200 miles. Whup-tee-doo.
Please, correct my math if I am wrong.. I'm by no means a match wiz (although this seems pretty simple). I figured I'd try and break it down to show the difference is slo slim, it doesn't matter... TO ME anyway.
ANd with this post, I bow out of the thread. Somebody show him a pic of a teg with 205/45's so he can decide (if he hasn't already made up his mind.)
**Edit**
205/45/16's.
205/40'/16's

So, 38 * 3.2" = 121.6" every mile LESS than the 195/55's.
Say I travel 100 miles.
100 * 121.6" = 12,160"
12,160" converted into miles is .1919 miles.
SO my odometer is off approx .2 miles for every 100 miles I travel.
Who cares???! Over 100000 miles my speedo will be off 200 miles. Whup-tee-doo.
Please, correct my math if I am wrong.. I'm by no means a match wiz (although this seems pretty simple). I figured I'd try and break it down to show the difference is slo slim, it doesn't matter... TO ME anyway.
ANd with this post, I bow out of the thread. Somebody show him a pic of a teg with 205/45's so he can decide (if he hasn't already made up his mind.)
**Edit**
205/45/16's.
205/40'/16's
