The accuracy of the speedometer and odometer depends on the tire diameter, which depends on the aspect ratio (the second number of the tire size) as well as the first number.

You can use either 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 on your Integra. 195/55-15 is the same diameter as stock. 205/50-15 is 1.6 percent smaller in diameter and will make your speedometer and odometer read high by that percentage.
