What do I need to get keep an even ride hight on my gsr? I know my car needs to be lowered with 17's. In the winter I am gonna use my stock 15's with snow tires. Can you let me know what type of setup I need to buy and also how I would adjust it and how easy it is to adjust. Thanks.

The stock 195/55-15 tires are about the same height as 205/40-17s.

Those are some skinny ass tires, and Integras with no body kit on em with 17" look stupid if ya ask me.

I'd go with some 16" wheels and 215/45-16 Falken Azenis.

 

215? Are you sure? The falkens are already wider than most comparable tires...

Choose your wheel offset wisely..

If i go with 16's what offset do I need? What size tires should I get?

 

if you're going with winter on the 15's.. and whatever on the 16's... the world is your oyster..

if you don't mind how fast tread wears.. falken azenis have excellent traction and a good price... :thumbup:

 

those falken tires are heavy

 

They also stick like nothing else short of a BFG g-Force KD (which costs twice as much) or an R-compound.

I've seen the 215/45-16 Azenis on some assorted cars, there weren't any problems.

 

Perhaps a larger issue you may be considering is that they have a narrow range of operating temps and get greasy real quick. Great for autocross (even so, people cool them down between runs) but you have to be somewhat extra careful during a HPDE.

Why do you think 17's with no body kits look stupid, I would think it would be the other way around

 

The wheels would be way too large for a stock-bodied integra. Wheels that are too small would also make the car look odd, but even with a huge bodykit, the stock 15 inchers don't make the car look ALL that bad.
