Default 17" Wheels on Integra

Hey guys I have a 96 Integra LS. I want to put some rims on it, but im not sure of the clearences with the fender well and everything. If I go with 17'' rims will there be any rubbing of the tire even while making sharp turns? And what do you guys think about the Gram Light 57C bronze rims?

Thanks Jman

i dont think anyone here likes wat u want to do
15-16" are for performance
17"+ purly for looks and hurts performance

if the car isnt slammed the rubbing shouldnt b bad but i think there would b some.
i think anything bigger than 16 looks to big for the car and makes it look wierd...

OK, I was thinking about 16 but i didnt know if it would be to small. So 16", and will they scrape the inside of the wheel wells on sharp turns? Also any comments on the Gram Lights 57c?

thank Jman

17's 4x100 you'll be fine. The offset has to be for your car. Even on a 2 inch drop you'll be fine. I know cause I've been there. My rims are curr. for sale if you want to check the classifieds.

I agree. 16" is a nice medium between performance and style.

i would imagine if you had 17s and are light would you go faster because your covering more ground at the same rotation thus proving to go faster.
