as long as your car is not "slammed" and you to not have too much positive offset, you will be fine.

You should probably use a wider wheel. 7" would be much more ideal than the 6" OE Integra wheels.

And it's painfully obvious that they're narrower than ideal for the tire.

Default Question!

Hate to bump this old thread, but what would be the ideal offset with 7" wide wheel and 225/50/15's on a 92-95?
