I have 17's with a 42mm offset unlowered and they fit perfectly fine. In my opinion I would go w/ 16's they are better for the performance aspect I wish I would have. If you need any other info do a search this has been covered many times

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types. [zero, positive, negative]

i don't know what the offset was on those 18's that you mounted, but the overall size of the wheel had something to do with it, i'm sure. in my opinion, anything larger that 16" on an integra just doesn't look right anyway.
i think stock offset is +45mm, but i'm not certain.

i bought the rims without checking anything out and on impulse, got a large sum of money and i needed rims. so i bought the first set of rims that looked good to me. the 18s didnt look bulky, got complimented the short time that they were on my car, but i am now buying a set of 16s, dont know what brand yet but def 16s, i am looking to lower my car a couple inches so anything with 42 offset should be fine right?
