Stickied at the top of this forum, where only the most clueless couldn't find it , is the topic:

Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING

It says:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"><FONT SIZE="4">FAQ</FONT>

What size tires should I get?

<FONT SIZE="4">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!</FONT>

For a CRX, del sol, 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 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, 215/45-16
17" - 205/40/17
</TD></TR></TABLE>

So unless you want to tell us what kind of car (model, year, version) the tires are going on, your question doesn't provide enough information to answer.

While you're at it, you can provide some more information, and we can make a recommendation:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Which tires should I get?

This depends on what you're looking to get out of the tire. Make a new topic and tell us what you intend to use it for. In that topic, make sure to answer the following questions:

- What kind of car you have (year, model, version)
- What size wheels you have
- How the tires will be used (daily driving, autocross/track/dragstrip)
- What kind of weather the tires will be used in (dry, rain, snow)

</TD></TR></TABLE>

That may be what's on there now, but that wasn't the stock tire size.

What year, body style, and version is your '01-05 Civic?

Depending on the year, body style, and version, the best matching 16" size is usually either 205/50-16 or 205/55-16.
