Help? :)
 
I'm going to be getting some 16" Rota circuit 8's soon, but i was wondering what size tire i should go with?
I'm not lowering my car at all, so there should be plenty of clearance.

205 45 16 is good

I have to agree with hatch on the tire size. Here is a link that will tell you what the best combination is for your car based on your current tire/wheel size. http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

without lowering your car will be like 4x4

you might want to consider lowering cuz 16" with no drop is going to look like a 4x4 and weird on a 6th gen civic. but tire size for 16" would be 205 45 16

yeah seriously, lower it, ihad 17's on my 6th gen hatch and it was like a monster. they rubbed like hell though, i would just get some 15's and crush it.

I rode 17s on stock height without ever rubbing. It looked normal to me until I saw lowered cars around. Now I feel like my 16s with 205/40/16s dropped 2.25 and 2.5 is a little high looking. haha

idk why tho, i had 17s with 45 series tires and they rubbed soooo much, i couldnt even turn with the road because it sounded like my ride was falling apart. i took em off and sold em. 10 dollar loss.. no biggie. im sticking with 15's and imma crush mine.

how much does it cost to lower it?
also...
i bought a type r grill from ebay a few months ago..
it was easy to install..
but i don't know how to paint it.
i know of a site that sells the right paints and everything... but i dont know if i have to do something "special" to the plastic before or after i paint it.
a little guidance on that would be great as well :)
