Default which tires for my 16x7 rims?

ive searched and read all topics, but still couldn't find info specific enough... well anyhow.. i just got volk le37t's 16x7 on my slammed '00 civic.. its got some bald 205 40 16's on it right now, so i need to upgrade tires real soon, im thinkin of kuhmo 712's, or maybe some yoko's.. i don't know much about tires but i dont got much cash after i got these rims
-so let me know what tires you guys think i should get and which size.. 205 40 16 seems okay, but its so low pro so i was thinking 205 45 16, but i wonder what it's going to look okay, i wonder if you guys could also post pics of your cars with all different tire sizes with 16x7 rims... thanks

What ever you do, don't get 40 series, it makes your wheels look small

Besides looking wierd, 40 series tires have a sidewall so short, damage to your fancy wheels will be much more likely. Go with 45 series tires.

205-50-16 fits the same as a 215-45-16 on a 16 x 7.

but id go with 205-50-16 theyre cheaper.

if your car is slammed...i'd recommend getting the 205/40-16's. less sidewall but it won't rub as bad as 205/45-16's.

205/50-16 is much too large for a Civic or Integra.

205/45-16 Yok AVS ES100 gets a in my book. My friend has them in that size and I have them in 205/50-15.

if u order them off tirerack.com, the total for 205/45/16s will be around $340 including shipping, which is still only $85 a tire...not bad
