Wheels look sweet!!
I've got a 94 dx coupe, 1.8 drop. Running eagle alloy 169 for winter.(16x7.5) Got them for 200 bucks. Tires are Nitto NT 450(215/40/16). Nothing fancy for winter, but they look huge. Does not snow here much, but when is does it gets crazy. They don't plow the streets and it gets real slick. Plenty of sidewall so you don't have to worry about blowouts.

maybe this is for 5th gens, but on 6th gens, tire size on 16x7's should be 205/45/16. I think 40 may be on the 5th's, tho

5th gen u should go 45s... VERY small circumference difference
actually i calculated it out... 40s are too small 45s are a lil too big
either way it'll be a lil off.. but still close.... burn out a few times in 45s and y ou'll be fine
