Tire Size Help for EK!
Hey guys, i just got myself a pair of 16X7 +40mm 4X100 Rota Track R's
Now i'm debating on what tires size i should get. I'm probably going to end up putting spacers too since i want the wheels to flush with the fenders. Any suggestions on what tire size i should get? I'm currently thinking 205/40/16...
i can do 205/50/16 but could i make them look stretched with 200/50/16 ?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using. So if you want to ask what size you should get, let us know what kind of car you have (year, model, body style, version)!
For a CRX, del sol, del sol Si, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:
13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16
For an Integra, del sol VTEC, or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:
14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16 would be the best size but 215/45-16 will work also but only if your car isnt too low and if the wheel offsets aren't too low.
17" - 205/40/17
The '96 Civic came with two different tire sizes, depending on version. For DX versions and hatchback versions, the sizes shown above for the pre-'96 Civic are usually best. For all other '96 Civics, the sizes shown above for the '97-00 Civic are usually best.

Re: Tire Size Help for EK!
Yup. You need 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 for your '97-00 Civic. Don't use 205/40-16, which is too small, or 205/50-16, which is too big.
If you get spacers, make sure you get the hubcentric kind that have the studs built into them, IOW not the flat metal plates that push your wheels out beyond the hub so you lose the hubcentricity.
