a friend of mine has a 99 civic ex, stock height, and has 16 inch wheels to put on it. he has a new set of 205/55r16 tires that he wants to put on them. i know that something in a lower series is ideal, but should those things fit without rubbing on one of these? i don’t want to waste my time mounting them up if they’re not gonna fit.
Tire Rack shows the optional 16" size as 205/45-16, so 10% difference of 205 mm is gonna hardly be noticeable I would think.
225/45 would be the ideal aspect ratio for 16’s on that car. Depends on which tires you are looking at, as not all manufacturers make all sizes.
they’ll fit fine. just depends if he wants that low profile of a tire. compared to what was on there before…
