Icon6 DC Owners Chime In: Pics Inside

Let me first say I did post this in the "wheel and tire" forum but after 2 days received no responses or imput.. kinda discouraging but oh well. I'll call it a show pictures/question thread over here.....

So I'm at a cross roads with my wheel and tire set up and need some imput from others. I've always owned 92-95 civic hatches before the dc and generally ran a 15'' wheel with a 50 series tire cause i felt it would make for a better, softer ride. just recently in looking at this car when i leave in the morning or walk outside for whatever reason i cant help but feel a 15 is too small for the bigger integra. I really dont have a problem stepping up to a 16 just wanna know what series tire other are running and if they notice any significant difference in how it rides... here's a pic of my current set-up




snapped this one last night at the parents house and thought i'd share as well





opinions are appreciated. TIA

My integra has ridden on

205/50/15
225/50/15
205/45/16
215/45/16

There is no difference in the ride. Feels all the same to me

iv had three integra, and have used several sizes in 15 an 16 and didnt notice a difference in ride quality between the two, excepte when i ran azenis, but they have a stiff side wall

and when i went to 17's once , they rode like poop on 205/40's

I liked 205/45/16 the best. I've owned 3 integras, all had 16"

I'm rolling on 205/45/16's also. Rides decent but rubs all the time on the fender walls. Planning on getting some 195/45's to erase most of that rubbing. 16" looks perfect in my opinion.

i too was thinkin a 195/45 16 would be the best bet to prevent rubbing. i'm running 195/50 15s right now and have no issues at all which is great. again, thanks for the imput
