hey iv been looking around and talking to my tire shop and apparently you cant get 195/45/16 tires.
im puting these on my 92 civic hatch vx thats lowered about 1.5 - 2 and im not looking for rubing issues.
im also trying to stay near the stock diameter so I wont have speedo issues.
the Rim itself is is 7 inches wide
Im wondering if a 205/45/16 will fit this rim well, not "bulge" and not rub?
im kinda looking to have a softer ride quality so im trying to stay away from the 40's but i might have to go there.....

 

ooo yes and the off set of the rim is +40

 

Get a different tire shop; the people who work at your tire shop are either idiots, or they're trying to stick you with whatever tires they have sitting around, even if they're the wrong size for your car. The Yokohama S.drive, which is a very good longer-lasting summer tire, is available in that size. It's $94/tire with free shipping from Discount Tire Direct.

You can also use 205/40-16. The difference in sidewall height between that and 195/45 is only 0.2", less than the difference in sidewall height between a new tire and a worn tire. If you need all-season tires because you need to use them in snow as well as in warm weather, the Kumho ASX comes in this size; $88/tire with free shipping from DTD. If you need supersticky summer tires because you track/autocross your car, the Falken Azenis RT-615 comes in this size for $98/tire.
