BAD IDEA. That rim size is too wide for 205/45-16 tires. Most 205/45-16 tires are only specified for mounting on rims 6.5-7.5 inches wide.

You can get 215/45-16 tires for your car, and those can be mounted on 16x8 rims, but tire selection is limited.

If you want to be able to use either of these two sizes, get 16x7 rims.

205/40-16 are generally approved for use on wheels 7" - 8" wide.

205/45-16, on the other hand, are generally only approved for wheels 6.5" to 7.5" wide, as nsxtasy stated.

True, but that size is TOO SMALL for a 2000 Civic.

A much better choice in tire size.
