Default 215/40 R16

I have 205/40's on the front now and 205/45's on the rear. Long story short I needed two tires to move and that's what was available. I was considering just running 215/40 though becuase to me it looks like the sidewall arches a little bit. I have some generic Enkei 16x7's.

Was also thinking about running SI's or LS Meshies at some point . . . think I might just stay in 16's though, I like the way they look more. Black EJ1, what wheel color would you guys go with? I was thinking like bronze C8's . . . something low key that looks good becuase the whole point of what I'm doing with my car is something that looks clean and doesn't stand out too much.

In a nutshell,
A: 215/40R16's on a 94 EX on 16x7's doable?
B: SI's / LS Mesh / whatever 16's / Also considering custom painting some LS mesh or some beat up 16's off of c-list.

Thoughts opinions and all that good sh**?

Edit: Think I'm gonna do 215/40R16 on some Diamon Racing wheels. 16x8 challenger wheels with +12 offset.

DON'T get 215/40-16 and 205/45-16! They are both too large in diameter for a '94 Civic. Stick with either 205/40-16 or 195/45-16. And you're much better off with 16x7 wheels, which will give you the option for either of these sizes; don't get 16x8.
