16 or 17s. 17s work on sedans though not so well on hatchbacks imo.

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

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.

it all depends on what suspension you have. i've never went over 16's.

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.

I say go with 16's, it just works on the teg. No rubbing, looks good, performs good. But those 17's do look good. Just my 2 cents.

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.

</TD></TR></TABLE>

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.
