no. the 15 in 205/50-15 indicates that the tire is for a 15 inch wheel.

if you really insist on going with a 17 inch wheel - looks like crap on integras, in my opinion -- you'll want to get something like 205/40-17. this is for proper fitment and best match to stock overall diameter (so that your speedo stays somewhat accurate).

by the way, ADR wheels are also generally known to be kind of shitty.

the 15 at the end indicates the rim size the rim you should look for w/ 17 inch rims is a 205/45/17 w/ a high speed rating

agreed, but my mom even knows that, obviously a 17 inch rim will not fit a 15 inch tire come on now that is basic knowledge u can tell by just looking at it that it wont fit
