P205/50r16 Firestone Firehawk GTs with 16" Enkei wheels. I know the wheels will fit, but am unsure about the height of the tire.

Is your '92 Sedan a Civic EX or an Accord EX?

The sidewall is too high for the Enkei, unless your going off-roading. Stick w/ the 45's. It'll look nice! If your car is lowered is gonna rub on turns.

Its a Civic EX Sedan. I went ahead and mounted them anyways just to be curious and they fit without rubbing. I can't really lower it now I don't think, but it fills up the wheel well nicely. I used Firestone Firehawk GTs. They ride smoth and handle awesome.

I assume these tires came with the wheels (because that's not the best size for your car). Go ahead and use them up, but remember that when you need to buy new tires, you should be getting 205/45-16 (about 1 percent larger outer diameter than stock) or 205/40-16 (2 percent smaller), not 205/50-16. Also when driving with the 205/50-16, remember that since its diameter is 5 percent larger than stock, your speedometer and odometer are reading that percentage lower than actual, so don't get a speeding ticket thinking as a result!
