I would recommend the 225's over the 215's unless ur trying to go Superlow in the near future.. reason is that i had 215/35/19's on my 19x7.5 and not only was it a bad ride, but the front tire went flat in about 2 months..

 

After looking at the wheel/tire thread I was noticing that there was only a few people running the 215's and I'm actually leaning more toward the 225's also on some of the above reasons you stated, also you were doing a 35 series as to a 40 so I bet you were straight up on rubber bands!


As promised here is a final photo of the whole drop lol



New wheels should be here with in a couple weeks too!

 

A subtle drop wont sacrifice your ride quality much. What changes the smoothness of your is the condition of your shocks. If you have high mileage on your car, you may want to consider coilovers as your stock shocks may be ready to be replaced.

 

If I had the money I'd get coilovers, but my shocks aren't very old and my car only has 83,000 miles

 

are you on OEM shocks? i had a KYB GR2 blow after only 4000 miles dropped on Eibachs.

 

i would expect any shock absorber to be very worn after 4k miles around new york or any major city

 

^ lol well lets hope the same doesnt happen to my function and forms.


no but really, the KYBs are known to blow prematurely in the rears. no pun intended

 

lol ya ever since owning integras ive vowed not to visit big cities in my lowered car. out here in the country its smooth sailing and miles of straight road

im on sportlines with oem struts that have 207k on them

 

yea those 20's where WTF!

and that is everyone's excuse not to go super low because of there state they drive in BS slam that shiiit

 

I'm on OEM struts too so hopefully no problems

I ordered the wheels and tires this morning, and went with the 225/40/18

 

Yup.. bad idea.
