What size rims is best for a 98 Integra LS sedan?
Okay I have a 98 teg and I put some 18x7.5" Forte F5 Black Russ Rims with Set of 225/40/18 Nankang NS II Low Profile Tires they rub so much I swith to some 215/35/18 Nankang NS-II High Performance Tires now Im still having problems so Im in the market again for some new rims Im just trying to see what would fit better 16 or 17" please help...
Yes, those are MUCH too big. The problem is that the tires are so much wider than stock AND so much bigger in diameter. That's why they rub.
I recommend:
15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels, with 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 tires
16x7 wheels with 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 tires
17x7.5 wheels with 205/40-17 tires

17x7.5 wheels with 205/40-17 tires
I prefer 16X7. 17s can look good and fill the gap nicely. but your cars ride height determines your wheel.

18's look like a roller skate to me, too big of a wheel for a small car like a Honda/Acura. I'd go with a 15" wheel, 16" at the most.
Okay right now Im all stock for suspension but I wanted to add some tein coilovers and some Rays Gram lights 57s pro 17 by 7, 42 mm offset, but I dont wanna have to buy rims again if they dont fit. Here's a couple of pics of the rims I want on a 2 door teg there 17x7.


first of all the higest you SHOULD go on a integra is 17 inches but i wouldnt reccomend it.. some DCs ive seen pull it off with the right set of rims.. but id suggest just going 16s with a nice drop.

Why not 15x7"? I have a set of 15x7" wheels with 205/50-15s and there's no rubbing ever with a 2.75"f/2.4"r drop and no camber correction. What about 17x7" too?
To the OP, if you have to have bigger wheels, I'd say go with 16s. Without a drop, 17s and up look goofy if you ask me. Otherwise nsxtasy's suggestions are pretty safe.

You can use 15x7 if you want, and there shouldn't be any significant problems. They just tend to make the tires look a bit "stretched" - more so with 195/55-15 than with 205/50-15.

17x7 will work okay too, no problems there either.
