I am currently running 17x7.5 wheels with 205/40/17 tires I am thinking of going with 16x7 wheels with 215/45/16 tires on my 01 integra gsr I have coil overs and it is dropped what do you guys think I know ride quality will be better with the 16s and with the wider tire. any imput will help what are you running?

 

well...what is the purpose of the car...auto-x? drag? nothing? that has alot to do with it.

 

It is used as a daily driver in Colorado the 17 are alittle ruff on the roads here and I want a wider tire but dont want to lose gearing

 

well then it doesnt matter its all looks at that point...if u wanted a drag...id say the 16...if u wanted auto cross id say 15's but since its a dd...i wouldnt waste the money unless it looks like dirty *** and u dont like it.

 

I can sell my rims for 1k so I have funds to do it I really want some simple black rims nothing fancy what are u running on your gsr

 

i just have steelies i sold my rims with my other car...its all personal preferance...its up to u man

 

any one else running 16s?

 

not to be a dick...but why are u even asking...they wheels aside from dd arent servings a racing purpose there for its ur personal perferance...

 

Who cares if he wants to switch, quit hagglin buddy

Personally the 16's will increase performance on your GSR, plus they won't look goofy, I say go for it

 

THANK YOU I WAS JUST SEEING WHAT OTHERS THINK i WAS NOT LOOKING TO INCREASE PERFORMACE JUST RIDE QUALITY. EVERY ONE HAS THERE OPITION BUT JUST LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD ADVICE.

 

most likely the 16s will have better ride quality because of the tire height of 45 compared to 40. stock integra gsr rims come with 55 series tires which is why the ride quality is usually better. but the tire brand and type also makes a big difference so search and see which brands are good.

beware of running 16X7 with 215/45/16 tires. the 215 may be too wide for the rims and might look kinda stupid. also, if you are lowered it is more likely to rub. beware of your rims offset as well.

 

45 series tires will ride better but your suspension is just as important. There's so many ricers out there with lowering springs and blown stock shocks. If the car is too low then it may be bottoming out the suspension too. My car rides super smooth on 16's.

You are aware that JDM ITR's come stock with 16x7 wheels with 215/45/16 tyres, right?

This is not a questionable setup by any means.

yea, sorry if i misinformed anybody. what i said was just my own opinions. i guess i just like the 205 wide over 215 wide. it's probably because i will rub with 215 on my own car and i like how my car looks now with 205.
