Default Tire Question

I'm getting 16's very soon, tomorrow or the next day. I have to get new tires though. You think 55's will be to thick and look stupid? Anyone have pictures of it?

depends on if you are lowered or not.
i would go with 45 if moderately lowered, or 35 if low.

yikes 55-series on 16" tires would look gargantuan and would probably rub everything under the fenderwells. 205/45-16 is the proper size tire for Integras. Some people use 205/40-16 but those are way too small and you only have rubber band sidewalls, nothing really to protect the wheels.

yeah you don't want 55's on a 16 inch wheel. go with 45's they will look so much better.

Yea I really wanted 45's but are they gonna be really that much more than 55's? I'm kind of on a tight budget with the tires. I'm really pushin it here. Also, anyone know a website where I can buy cheap tires?

EDIT: Oh and yeah King-J I can't go lower than 45 out here. I got 40's right now on my 17's (came with the car). I friggen hate them. There are so many potholes, bubbles galore! I try to avoid as many as possible but some you just can't.
