Currently have 17's on stock suspension. Teg looks like a 4x4 but I will be lowering it a bit this spring. It does rub when I turn the wheel a lot.

I know its a DA but it cant be that much different then yours. Im running 17's without a problem and my car is pretty low. It tucks a bit in the rear but doesnt rub.
Sorry about the pic size its all I have

Your rubbing with your 17's on stock suspension?? you must have really wide tires, or a really bad offset on your wheels. I used to have 18's on my lowered integra and no rubbage at all. Proper tires and proper offset and you should have no problems with 17's

I've got 17's on stock suspension and I have no problems with rubbing. I'm also planning to lower the car a bit..Just not sure what I want to lower it to. Then I'll consider getting 16's as well if it becomes a problem...

Use 1010tires.com technical specs

go read up on Offset, tread size/width

and also read up on tire comparison or use their calculator it's free.

You should be ok with 205/40/17 for sure

but it just depends on the width of the tire and especially the offset... probably 38+/- can't remember you'd better check :X

^lol... +1, IMO 17's belong nowhere near an Integra.
