Default Rim/tire fit and suggestions

Ok, the dimensions for the rims I am getting are 16x7 I am pretty sure they will fit with 205/45-16's but just want to make sure, will there be any problems putting them on my car as far as rubbing goes? it is a '99 EX.

Also I have been reading up on tires on the forum and noticed that there aren't very many reviews for 205/45-16 tires and when i looked not many of the tires reccomended come in that size at all. I really don't know much about tires at all to be honest, I just know that I want a tire that will be good for daily driving but can also put up with occasional abuse through hard turns for autocross. I live in Florida so it really doesnt need to be able to perform well in snow, just wet and dry conditions. It needs to last a somewhat decent amount of time and as far as road noise goes, I don't really care how much it makes since my car is loud as hell anyway lol.

Thanks for helping again

205/45/16 is a perfect size, I have that size on my car. For tires, check out BFG G-Force Sport, I got them pretty cheap from Tire Rack.

Here are some good choices:

I think the G-Force Sports represent a great deal. I have Falken 912s all-season - good handling at a really low price. I don't expect more than 20,000 miles out of them, but that's about 5 years of use for me.
