The drop isn't too low. I'm just below 2" and I only rub on u-turns with 205's. Height of the car has nothing to do with rim/tire selection. There's a correct size tire to run with the diameter wheel he chooses...whether it be 14, 15, 16, 17, no matter how much a car is dropped. On civics integras, anything wider than 205 will rub.

With some of the wheels that you were showing, they had a lip and the spokes didn't go all the way to the edge of the rim making it look smaller.
These are the same size wheels, but notice how the first wheel 'looks' bigger than the second wheel?
Others have already mentioned the other adavantages of having a 16" wheel (tire choice, availability, pricing, ride comfort, etc.).
Personally, I like the look of a 16" wheel with a polished lip on a lowered civic coupe. 15" wheels looks good on hatches (especially when it's really low).

that being said, you should get a set of SSR GP-O's
