I recently got some brand new fresh bronze 16 rota c10s and can't seem to decide which size of tires to get. I've been looking at Tirerack.com and they recommend the 45's due to the weight of the vehicle. What's really seems to be the difference? What would you recommend? Need help! Thanks in advance guys!

thinner sidewalls will be a harsher ride. the 40's will be shorter overall. get whatever u want
TORQUE WINS RACES. SO DOES HORSEPOWER.

Pics of 40 series and 45 series tires would probably help the OP out.

205-45-16 would probably be your best bet... i had 205-40-16 on my civic hatch and they were even too small on that car... here is a pic of my gf's teg with 205-45-16 nitto neo gen's... this should help give you an idea of how it looks...



here is a pic of my civc with 205-40-16... IMO these were too small and definitely don't ride as good as the 45's...

45s on some adjustable GC.
not sure on my drop but it ain't drastic since i drive the car daily and i like the play when hitting the canyons.
i like the thicker side wall for comfort.
even 50s on 15s are a bit harsher than 55s

The Tire Rack recommends the 45 series in the diameter that you require because the 40 section height has a much lower load rating and would be unsafe based on industry standards.
I would rather fail at originality than succeed at imitation

Lets jus say"

40's = harsher ride, with the right drop look great, but you can bend your rim a whole lot easier

45's = lil more comfy ride, look great on most drops, less chance of bending a rim but still possible.

I'm going with some Konig Heliums in 16x7 with a 45 series, it should look great and I hear rides comfy.

if you like rubber band tires go with the 40 series. but if you want a little meat on your side walls go with 45 series. said and done. IMO the best wheel size for integras are 16's and the tire size is 205/45 16r
