You know... that's the $64,000 question!

I'll see where the 205's sit in a few days or so, and give a full report.

I ran 225's on my stock 6's with stock suspension, and they did pretty well..
front would rub when turning on a driveway
The rear did fine until I got a flat....... didn't know it.......turned.........rubbed on lower control arm...........got sideways.........

For what reason are you running 225's........ If you want to do it for traction purposes, it won't help.....

225 without a spacer will run and with a spacer if you are lowered it will rub the fender instaed of the sustemsion.

So you're saying this would be the case with a 7.5 inch rim (15") and a +43 offset, right?
Just checking to make sure we're not talking about the stock 6" rim any more. Ed

I think the 225 will rub no matter what wheel you put it on. 6'' - 7'' - 7.5''

I have 15x7'' wheels with a 43mm offset. Im using the knew V700's 225-45-15. My car is lower than stock, and it rubs in the rear WITh the 5mm spacer. It is not rubbing the control arm, but the fender. I will raise the car to fix this.

The fronts seem to be Ok, even with the lowered. I will post a few pics, asap.

I have actually seen stock wheels with 225 with the same issues. It is more so the 225 width than the 7.5" wheel. The widest I would ever consider for an integra is a 7"/ Just personal preference but a 225 is going to be work.

So would I be ok at the height you are (how low are you, btw?) with 15x7 and 205's?

You should have NO problems with 205 tires on a 7" wheel...
