Default Wheels: 205 and 215 width = Big diffrence? or not?

Hey people I normally post everything in the Integra section but I was redirected here for this one...

Im now in the process of deciding if Ill put 16s or 17s on my 98 GSR. I think Ill stick with 16s and keep my good accelaration but I was wondering about the width of the RIMs/Tires.

Right now I got some 16s with 205x45x16 setup and I was wondering if it was worth going 215. Some people told me it would be really tight on the fenders... is it true?

that was my first question...

Second question is: is the traction upgrade worth it? from 205 --> 215 ?

Thanks

As far as autocrossing is concerned, I think the 215/45/16 Azenis are a good match for the Integra's weight. They have a smaller diameter (gearing advantage) than the 205/55/16 Azenis and yes the tread width is noticeably wider.
