It would look stupid. Get all 4 the same size. Integra's come stock with 14" and 15" rims.

That's fine man. both DC and DA/db will be alright with 14s in the front 15s in the rear.. I drove all WINTER with a setup like that. I had 14" steelies in the front and 15s in the back..

thats my setup right now i wreck/bent 2 of my 15inch rims from hitting curb so my replacement in stock is 14 inch steelies. i ask this question cause whenever im braking or just plain simple driving average speed ill hear this weird noise ..feels like the steelies is rubbing on the brake pads??? friend says its my rotors or brake pads going bad ??

if the steel rim isnt the right one for your car then it could rub on your caliper pull off the wheel and look for marks on the inside of the rim and outside on caliper, also jack it up and check all your joints, ball joints, tie rod end and upper control arm, also check your wheel bearing

from hitting a curb one of your suspension parts could have gotten damaged so have a look for bent control arm. if lower control arm is bent your ball joint can go soon as well.

Should be okay. I know the Vette using 18's in the front and 19's in the rear. Porsche and other companies do the same. Just looks dumb, but if its all you got, it will work.

;Problem if your car has ABS.

Although these sizes are virtually identical each tire manufacturer has slightly different O.D.'s. And then there is the Q is the tread equal as well?

I would put them side by side and check OD visually.

Tires and rims can be cheap to come by so if you need something like 2 14" rims or 2 195/55-15's tires put it on the wanted to buy board. If you aren't fussy then stuff will be offered cheap...
