Hello,

I have a 2004 civic hybrid and purchased 16 inch rims 6.5" width +45mm offset. I'm noob at wheel / rim fits but saw a good deal on ebay and purchased the rims. Now I need to find tires that meet the following and I'm having trouble determining the best fit.

• 1 priority - would like to fill tire well to max without rubbing issues
• 2 priority - would like to align wheel with the side of the car instead of the sunken tire look
• 3 priority - would like as much width as possible due to wet conditions

Car is not lowered.

Tire mechanic told me 205/50/16 would be my best bet and that I might need to think on tire spaces(?) for aligning the tires with the side of the car. But he said that will make my tire near stock diameter which is one thing I hate about my current tires... I asked him if 205/55/16 would fill the well better and he said I'd most likely have rubbing issues but he didn't seem to confident on that; so now I'm unsure which way to go.

Can anyone help with advice?

Thanks

I did 205/55/16 yesterday. I really like how it turned out.
