I know 16 is the diameter of the wheel in inches, obviously, but.. what does the rest mean? My main concern is the right tire size along with the lowest possible drop without messing up the wheel wells. I'm trying to get some advice from someone with an ek so I don't have to trial and error my own s***.

On my slips I ran 205/50's but now have 195/50's currently on them. Definately liked the 205's better.

I would go 15" just because I don't like 16s on a Honda. 195/50/15 is the way to go IMO.

90% sure those are 16" in the pic.

I like 16s on Hondas... 17+ is fucking stupid and makes your shit look like a monster truck

15" with a decent drop=everything on the bottom of the car scrapes. That being said, you can pull it off if you get a taller tire/sacrifice some of your drop.

205/45/16 is my vote. This is what I run after a few years of trial and error with Hondas... 16x7 wheels.

Thanks so much for the input. What hondas did you run that size on and were they lowered/any rubbing?
