If you want to move to a 55 series tire, the correct size would be 195/55/15.

the 195/55/15 would then be the same height as the 205/50/15

I just bought 225/45/17's. Try that for rubbing =P

Does anyone know how high I gotta revv my integra to get it to launch? With stock donuts I used to launch at 3000 RPM's at a creeping speed. I tried to do that with these today and then my car started bouncing like CRAZY! I then tried it again at a 8 - 10 mph roll, floored it and the same thing happened!

Can anyone tell me what I need to revv it to with a pretty much stock integra on stock springs, at a complete stop?

Seriously you're kidding right? If you're getting wheel hop, that's associated with the suspension, nothing you can do unless you want to change it. You're wheel hop is because the suspension won't keep the wheel pressed on the ground.

I figured as much, but if I drop these I pretty sure major scrappage will happen. But for the mean time, any suggestions on springs that will keep these pressed on the ground but give oem quality ride? I heard Tein is pretty good, what else is there? COILOVERS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION.
