What model Integra is it? GSR, LS, etc...?
What is this car being built for?

Did you not see the Forum Guidelines? It's very difficult to help you, if you're not being specific.

3. When asking a question please include all details that are necessary (car, wheel size, intended use, etc) for someone to make an informed response.

my bad... its a 96 GS-R model with a k20z1 swap, k20a2 tranny with 5.062 final drive & TSX 6th gear... its being used for everyday driver. i have the stock fat fives on them now for the "sleeper" look, but im realizing that i need bigger wheels because of my setup. i cant even redline 1st and 2nd gear without the tires spinning like crazy..

You need better tires, not bigger wheels, to help prevent spinning.

A GSR should be running 205/45-16 or 215/45-16, on 16" wheels. That is the diameter that the wheel wells were designed for, and are the closest to the stock 195/55-15 size. A 225/40-16 would also work, but is a very rare size, and not available in any of the good tires that I checked (or I'd already have a set on my 16s).

No clue on speedometer and odometer accuracy with the engine swap though.
