Default 215/45/17???

Anyone got anything bigger on 17's than 205/40 before? If you did, how low were you able to drop the car?

the wheels that im selling (in my sig) are 205/40/17... you can drop it around 2 in. it may rub on hard turns. i had coilovers so i dont know the exact measurement of how low it was. 205/45 i hear will rub a lot... not 100% sure though

215/45 will most likely rub if you are dropped, as will 215/45.

anything other than 205-40-17 on an Integra will not be acurate as far as mileage and the odometer are concerned. They have the closest circumfrence to original factory settings as you can get and shouldn't rub on anything less than a 2.5/2.75 inch drop.
