    Re: eBay struts, KYB or Tokico?

    tokico sells springs?... might have a send a link to those....

    someone i know has tires that big, said he never once rubbed. he had them on a slammed 94 integra too. lol he said it looked like an off-roader :P

    idk about our cars though, but im about to buy those wheels from that guy and see for myself. if those tires are to big ill change em out :P. measure the distance from the top of the tire to where the car would rub, im sure there's gotta be more than an inch in there.

    hmm, until I hear conclusively from someone though I don't think I'll go ahead and buy springs.

    then you shouldn't be ordering your own suspension.

    thats how many revolutions of the wheel per mile on the road. the MORE revolutions means its a smaller circumference that has to rotate more times to travel 5280ft than a taller tire with a larger circumference which will need to spin less times to make up the same distance. its a good judge to figure out how much your speedometer will be off , and a good reference for the difference in height, since its more accurate than the plain old 23.3" height.

    From the "Wheels and Tires" sticky topic:

    FORMAT [size] [outer diameter] [ratio to stock]

    Stock (for diameter comparison)
    185/70-13 23.20” 100.0% (will not fit on LXi or SEi)
    195/60-14 23.21” 100.0%

    +1”
    195/55-15 23.44” 100.1%
    205/50-15 23.07” 99.4%
    195/50-15 22.68” 97.7%

    +2”
    215/45-16 23.62” 101.8%
    205/45-16 23.26” 100.2%
    205/40-16 22.46” 96.8%

    +3”
    215/40-17 23.77” 102.4%
    205/40-17 23.46” 101.1%

    +4”
    215/35-18 23.93” 103.1%

    Going to a diameter smaller than stock will slightly improve acceleration at the cost of a small reduction in fuel economy and a speedometer that reads a little higher. The cg is also lowered slightly with smaller diameter tires. Obviously the opposite is true for tires with a larger outer diameter.
