search around for some pics of ITRs and most people on this board run no larger than 16"
Lack of unsprung weight is your friend

ah.. who was it on "CRIBS" that said... "If you aint got 20's... u aint $hit!" ?

edit- aside from them being HEAVY, they cant be good for the suspension, and will most likely rub

Performance wise its not the best choice to go that big however do what you like.

IMO since you're asking I think they are way to big. I'll put the smallest diameter that will clear the stock brakes, cheaper tires, less weight, cheaper wheels, more functionality.

Honda-tech is not much on the show side (especially the ITR forum). maybe check out the appearance forum
