Help with Suspension/Wheel Selection
I am new here and this is my 1st post. I recently bought a 94 LS Integra and am getting ready to do the suspension and order some new wheels. I am trying to get some input on what wheel and tire size would be best and how low to go.
I bought the car last week and have already ordered KYB AGX adjustable struts, Skunk 2 Camber Kit and Megans Racing rear lowers. I am wanting to go with 18X7.5 (225/40R18) G-Games (Rays/VOLK) Wolf 77's and Neuspeed Sport Springs. I know that the KYB's will do fine on ride quality, but how bout the Neuspeeds with the 18's? Will it be to low???? I DO NOT want to rub!!!!! I do not want to tuck the wheels nor have them way out of camber.......the 18's are not a for sure, 17's are also considered...... just wanting some input (or pics) of 18's with the approx drop that the Neuspeed's will provide. Also, is there a better offset than what Discount Tire Direct may offer that will look better on the car. I searched the forum for this and didn't really find much, I also browsed cardomain.com looking for pics, but not much help there either! Thanks guys for your help!!!!!

in my professional opinion, 18's are not meant for Integras at all. from what ive seen w/ 18s on other integras is the proportion of body size to wheel size. the 18s look very out of place.
17" would be a max, 16" would be good.

Thanks guys! How about the Neuspeed Springs (Sport) Will they set the car down low enough with the 17's?? I would think that it would fit nicely! I am going for the all out clean/aggresive look with the handling to boot!

Went through this decision 2 years ago, ageee with everyone else, 18s - No Way, 17s - pushing it, but can be done, 16s - probably best. I went with 16s and 205/50, and very satisfied. I'm picking up some Eibach pro-kits to close the gap,but don't want it slammed.
Have you looked at Neuspeed's sof-Sport, they're only supppose to drop you about .75", which may not be enough with 17s, but would ensure no rub.

Go with 16 they provide the best look as well as comfort 17 and 18s will provide a harsher ride and in my opinion look too big for the Integra but if you must go large dont go larger than 17.
