Default 17's wheel size

Regarding wheel size on DA9 Setup..

I'm thinking about getting 17's wheels for my integra but I'm not sure if they will be too big or decrease performance ability. I have the big brakes Brembo setup and my stock wheels didn't clear so I'm upgrading my wheel size . I do know for a fact, if I go with the 17's I'll have to raise my integra a little higher.

Inputs would be great of any kind.

17''s will fit, you won't need to raise your car, hell you could probably still lower some more if you want. By putting the 17''s on, it will actually raise your car for you. So you can either look like your ready for an offroad adventure, or lower it and look like a car again. As far as the big brake kit goes, you have to upgrade to a minimum of 17''s to clear the calipers.

Get 17s with 205/40/17 tires and you should be fine. These are pretty close to stock wheel/tire size so you shouldn't have any rubbing unless your car is really slammed. Make sure your big brake kit has 12" rotors if you want 17" wheels to clear.

17's will fit but you may need to get low profile tires

16's-19's should fit, its all a matter of what you are looking for. Getting the right offset is going to be the key.

Tires that are on the rims are Kuhmo Ecsta 205/40/17.. they came with the rims brand new.

I put the rims 17's on and the car drove a little weird.. something I don't expect to happen.

I'm not getting any butterfly of any sort but I do get a little swerving to the left a little at high speed of say 42mph +

Would I need an alignment check after putting on the 17's?

I know it's not my big brakes, everything on that side works fine and the 17's fits fine over the calipers.
