Default 15" or 16" Wheels (DB8, 4-door Integra)

Hi HT'ers,

Is anyone rocking 15" wheels on their DB8??? I've heard I'll regret it if I use a 15" wheel on the four door Integra. Hearing I need to run w/a 16" wheel.

Any thoughts?

Is this an opinion on how the wheels will look?

As for tire sizing, you can fit either 16's or 15's because there are proper tire sizes for both wheel heights.

I'm sorry, should have been more specific...I've got an idea of how the wheels will look...and I prefer a 15" wheel size to be honest. But that was on my 2d coupe. I tend to run across most DB8's with 16" wheels for whatever reason??? Is it a ride quality thing?

Anyone have pics of their DB8 on 15's by chance??? Id love to see a picture if at all possible.

Well, there will be a definite ride quality difference between the 15's and 16's, there is no doubt about that.

But, if you're trying to get a visual opinion, I'll have to point you to rule 6b. of this forum.

Start here for wheel pictures on DB8's:

Thanks Matt...I'll take a look at the DB8 link. (Wasn't aware there was a thread like this for db8s)

Is this safe to assume?
16"= bumpier ride
15"= smoother ride

For the tire size that would be safe on a DB8, yes that is a very accurate statement. It's not going to be like the suspension is welded when you have 16's, but it'll be noticeably different then the 15's. I would stick with the 15's, just on the pure sake of tire options. There are a lot more 15" tires (manufacturer and model) out there that will fit your car.

If you're building a DD, I highly recommend 15's. It'll save your bottom from unnecessary aches and pains. Plus, in my opinion, they still look better then 16's in most cases.
