17's are to big IMO. 16's with a nice drop looks perfect. what rims are you looking at right now?

wow I can't believe people think that looks good! what is so great about the way that looks. i think 30's are too big for any normal vehicle. even hummers.

I voted for 17's because I like the way they look for every day driving and on a good drop, they can look good for you too.

here is some 17" grams on my integra.

I'd go 17"s if you're going to be dumped, but if not, then 16s is my vote!

The best matching sizes are either 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 with 16-inch wheels, and 205/40-17 with 17- inch wheels. You can find plenty of excellent street tires (summer tires, all-seasons, and winter tires) in sizes to fit either size wheels.

I like both sizes of wheels and both can look good depending on your drop and what wheel you choose. For a street tire, most popular brands can be had in both a 16 and 17 inch sizes. Kumho SPT, Toyo T1R, Falken 615, etc.

I opted for a 17x7.5 since that was the smallest size when I ordered my Time Attacks.

I really like the 215/40's I ran those on my DA with not 1 problem.

Let alone the grip was surprisingly great!

16s are great... Rota Circuit 10s, 205/45/16 Kumho Ecsta SPT. Ride great, handle great, wear great, not one Damn complaint.





I say go with 16s.

I ran that size on a 7.5" rim before and it worked out fine. Tire was nicely stretched over the rim. Only issue is that the rim is exposed since the sidewall is smaller. I'd die if I curbed my rims . However, pricing and availibility favors the 205 .
