Bigger Wheels in the Back
I just bought some tires/rims off somebody. The front tires are 195/50 and the backs are 225/50. What are the advantages/disadvantages of having bigger tires in the back?

possible wheel clearance issues and more understeer.
bigger tires on the back of a civic (or any fwd car for that matter) is just a bad idea...

A wheel offset can only be pulled off by a RWD car or a MK4 GTI IMO

ITs still front wheel drive car. most hondas are front driven cars which benefit from having more traction up front. wider tires = more traction (to an extent)

No Integras were ever built by Honda (or Acura) that are RWD. Unless someone has taken the task upon themselves to rebuild your entire car from the unibody up, you do not have a RWD.

That's an old thread from '05 so I can't see the pics, but yeah, it looks like he did that himself using the transmission, transfer case, axles, and differential from a CRV to get RWD and AWD.

i guess when your car doesn't make enough torque to break the drive wheels loose it's easy for someone to convince you your integra is rear wheel drive. 
don't get all pissy guys i have 2 integras.
