So leshwab said that 215/45/16 would be fine on my car instead of 205/45/16 is what they are saying is true? Im getting tires for my konig supermesh and its going to installed on my civic ek hatch pretty slammed id say

 

The difference will be 10mm in width (less than half an inch) and 4.5mm in height (less than 1/4 of an inch).

 

For '97-00 Civics, either 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 will fit. However, if your car is lowered a lot, it's possible that the added width and diameter of the 215/45-16 will make it rub. That's why 205/45-16 is the better size on a car that has been lowered a lot.
