With 15's the tires are cheaper,the ride is generally better,more performance tires,
Less rubbing issues........
Only bad thing is the car sits lower...

With our cars you dont need huge brakes..Anything more then 90-93 integra brakes in the rear and 90-91 civic ex front brakes is overkill...Our cars are so light..And those brakes will fit behind some 15's

What is all this talk about rubbing issues? Is this with slammed civics? My CRX has been very low and I don't get rubbing. What I do get is the upper A arm hitting the inner fender because the car was too low. I can use the full radius of steering on my CRX with NO rubbing anywhere. The only trouble I have is finding new tires. 16" tires are rare and cost more than 17"s.

NP, and don't listen to lies from other people. Always seek out the truth. up to a 17" rim with 7/5 width and still fully utilize the steering turn of a CRX WITHOUT rub. I dunno who those other fools are coming up with this myth about "rubbing". As long as your offset is correct, you will not have this problem. Besides, I think if you have a wrong or bad offset you will have other, more important issues to resolve than "rubbing while turning".
