for an 94-01 teg like you have, 205/45r16 is your best bet.

55 series would be too "tall" I think. Will 215 clear with no rubbing though?

if you can find some 215 45 r 16s then maybe, but i wouldnt suggest going above a 45 series sidewall. 205 45 16 is going to be the best bet for your money. they make azenis in that size too in im not mistaken.

ive seen 215s on a few civics with no rubbing, but neither of them had the inner fender wells. 205 would probably be ideal, and for a 94-01 teg, a 45 series sidewall will fill in the gap nicely. 50 series he could probably get away with, but i wouldnt go that high up. i have 205 40s on my crx, but the wheel wells are smaller than on his teg. the 205 40s are a lot cheaper though.

205 40*45 16 is about right ..lol.. 55 is like monster truck style..lol..and 215 will stick waaaaay out.

I deal direct w/ tire rack and discount tire direct. I always undercut there retail even if it's 2-3 dollars a wheel it save's you about 10 bucks on average same shipping 2-3 days.
