Icon2 5lug carving head 17s on a Integra?

Found a nice deal on some carving head wheels from the UK but they are 17s, I want them for an integra but I don't know how they would look. I want to go flush and would probably get some 195/40/17 tires, but i still dont know how they would look. They are ET38 offset and 17x7, any advice guys? Can I pull it off or is it wayyyy too ricer?

From the FAQ's:

6b. No opinion threads for the appearance of wheels (e.g. "Which wheel will look better on my car?", "What color wheels should I get?")

Well its more of a fitment question pertaining to the 17's on a lowered car, and how the offset along with rolling the fenders etc. would play in and if it was possible at all.

Yes, that setup would fit your car... but, it's still an appearance opinion when you word it like this: "Can I pull it off or is it wayyyy too ricer?"

in my honest opinion(at a good ride height) that fitment will be fine on an integra. do not run undersized tires on there. 205/40-17 is fine or if u are worried about the small profile try to find 195/45-17.

if u choose to go 16" go with 205/45-16 and stick w/ an offset in the +38-+42 range if u dont want to deal with rolling of fenders and or excessive negative camber.

Thanks dude great info, yea im semi low on 15s right now and its no prob, but needless to say 17's are gonna be a bit more difficult to pull off.

Not a huge fan of 17"s on Integras, but that width and that offset is ideal for your car.

Yeah dude me either but it would be something different if I could pull it off, I don't know much about width and offset but you say its ideal, so can I still lower the car to get a decent look, not too high looking? Or.... thanks for all the help guys!

If you get 17's, stick with 205/40-17 on the tires.
