They won't really fit, correctly at least.

You want to try and preserve the stock tire diameter, to keep the speedometer and odometer accurate. Going larger can cause rubbing issues in addition to throwing the meters off.

195/50-15 and 205/40-16 are the best sizes for the car, keeping the diameter close to the stock 22.7 diameter.

A 205/40-17 is a bit larger, and could cause rubbing issues on a lowered car, since it is 23.5" in diameter, but that is the closest 17" size available.

225/45-17 is huge for your car, at close to 25" in diameter. You probably aren't going to find pictures of a 95 hatchback on this tire size.

The correct tire size for an Integra is larger than for your Civic, but that is still too large of a size to be correct on an Integra.
