With a 45 offset on a 7.5, I'd be worried about the inside edges rubbing during hard turning, but with the 7.5, you've kinda ruled out 205s. 215/45 will fit and shouldn't rub the fenders, but *might* rub the liners if you turn the wheel all the way, I'm not totally sure.

u meant the front wheel might rub if i do a full turn?, but all that bolt pattern and PCD will fit on a civic right?hows your es100? is it running good and what do u think of the threadwear of the tires?im considering this tire or the kuhmo 712

yes, 4x100 is right, 45 offset is ok, but if you turn the wheel all the way, the tires might rub, I'm not sure... my wheels are 37 offset, I have the opposite problem of the fenders rubbing. I would definately choose the AVS ES100s over 712s. Especially if you plan on beating them up. At autoX today I got into a discussion with a guy who has 712s and isn't at all happy with the grip or the durability when it comes to giving them a pounding. My Yoks held their own... I actually still have edges on them after 7 runs. They run through rain like it's nothing and the best thing is they're quiet. Tire Rack... $97.

umm, ok, the yokos that is, thanx for your input, its worth paying 200cad over the kuhmo since the yokos are better than kuhmo in every category, hope the yokos can last at least 2 summers since i dont even go to autoX
