Too small? How so?

Maybe for a full drag tire, but do you have the room to clear SO big of a tire?

OEM for DC (third gen) integras w/15" rim is a 195/55R15, so a 205/50R15 is a step wider,while the same height.

(Keep in mind, the first number (EG. 205) is the width of the tire,the second being the aspect ratio (EG 50) and the third number (EG R15) is the rim size. So if your keeping the rim size the same (or the same in a stock option w/otherwise the same exact vehicle.) and you want to go wider, the aspect ratio needs to drop.

205/50R15 will work , 215 if your car too low wouldn't recommend it.

Three inches is a pretty healthy drop! Especially with these tires... :shock: 8)
Here's a nifty calculator.....
Gives you a good idea how different tire sizes will effect ride hight, speedo, etc....
