wheels for an integra

hey peeps,

was just wondering wat is the largest size rims that would fit under say a 95 (dc2??? not sure) integra... do 17's fit straight under... i guess with 18's you would need to work on the wheel arches hey...

also wat is the best ride height for an integra (ie. how much to lower it,
2 inches)

finally :roll: wat is the dif between a 96 teg and a 00 teg... i heard some1 say that they got different bumpers... i know the sunroof is deleted but not sure bout other differences to it...

cheers phil :)

17's are no problem as long as u have 215 40 rubber.
18's i think u need 35 profile rubber
any more than 18's and i think your speedo will be thrown out too much.

Vti-2 has 18's on his Integra, wait til he replies on here.

After 1997, the Integra's got a face lift. Bigger front lip, different front bar, different rear bumper, the headlights are larger and are of different sizes, the word 'Integra' is positioned differently on the front, and GSi's got ABS.

got 18's on mine with 35's..

then again its lowered so its hard to say about the rubbing - which it obviously does.. you sacrifice a lot by going to 18's because its just for cosmetic reasons..

How does your car's performance feel, Phorte?

i havent had smaller wheels on my car for ages so i dont have much to compare with =(

main thing that i notice is comfortability.. obviously less rubber travel due to the low profile tyres... car feels more sluggish due to extra weight of the rims.. not sure if rolling diameter has nething to do with this either...

argh im not much help am i haha.. ive had them on for a long time so i dont really remember..

don't forget
low profile rubber dont last long and cost $$$$$$$

spot on andrew! its all about the money.. or lack thereof haha

You could fit 20's if you wanted but it requires a lot of 'custom' work. 17's should fit under easily, even if you drop if 1-2inches. I've got 18's on mine and they fit without a problem. I've got a 2.5inch drop so the rims at the back are about 2mm's from rubbing the guards (empty car). With people in the back, the wheels camber a bit and start to rub when cornering.

Best ride height? Depends on how you like the ride. For guys that don't care about comfort they usually dump the cars pretty low. I'm not fussy about 'riding on air' so i dropped mine 2.5inches. The ride is actually not that bad even with my 18's!

I think there is a thread on this somewhere... ?

Anyway, the main physical difference is both the front and rear of the car. They have a different bar at the front that makes the lights on the newer shape look more flush with the bar. The rear bar looks different at the bottom. Also, the lights at the rear are different. The ITR ones look better than the first series.

Hope that helps. 8)

the man's a fountain of information! hehe :lol:

mines 2" on a set of 17" rims
i have no problems.. with or without ppl in the car =)

they will fit under if the width of the rim isnt too wide

i got 17's wid 2 inch drop
straight in
