holy hell small rims.

i am sure you can find cheaper tires in 15's then in 14's as 15~17's are more common size.

and...why the hell would you want 14's anyways? you must like the sidewalls of the tires flexing to the max.

Jesus, those are the same size tires as I have on my '73 datsun! I'd definitely suggest some 15's or 16's for an Integra. If you end up going with a different series tire, it'll change your gearing. Use this:
Tire size calculator

to calculate how your mileage will chang with different series tires. For daily driving, you ideally want to keep the same outer circumference as stock, so you'd want 225/40-16 tires or 225/45-15 tires. That way your gearing remains close to stock, and your speedometer remains somewhat accurate.

Smaller sidewall will mean a tighter-feeling handling, while larger sidewall will give you a cushier ride.

So...why not upgrade to something better?

[kommon_sense]

you are using the same size wheel, so use the same size tire. dropping to a 45 sidewall will truly suck. Your ride quality will get worse and you won't have much protection on the rims... hit a pothole and you might dent a rim. Your gas mileage will also go down...

Please don't take any more automotive advice from whoever is telling you to run too little tires.

so .. i should use my same tire size common .. ? i was just wondering would it look funny ?

You definitely should use the same tire size, and it didn't look funny when it rolled off the showroom floor. Why should yours look funny because you didn't follow the trend and go with wagon wheels?

Wider = better

Predictable = best

16x7 or 16x7.5 are the only size rims that have performance and style on a dc2

15x9 doesn't do it for you? I'm going to find some time to make some overfenders for my CRX so I don't have to worry about clearance issues. That would look so nasty and cool.

aaah, Nissan Guru's trying to help out the Integra owner..I see where this leads..

this rim actually looks really good.

sports max..what ever model that is..
16x8 0 offset on integra

yeah...hella fucking flush

[WVU97GS-R]

i run 16x8's on my s13. +20 offset. but on a teg 16's look like pure sex and don't compromise handling. 15's are are too small imho. 17's are the limit to what i would put on a teg. something like volk te37's but they are 600-750 a rim.
