15s on a 4th generation
Post by Prelude danny » Tue Oct 13, 2015 2:00 pm
I recently bought a bb4 4th gen and I also bought some 15" integra wheels. They fit on using spacers up front, put them on and car needs lowering alot to look good, has anyone ran 15s or is running some as I'm now debating on selling up and getting 17s

Have they still got the lower profile Integra tyres on? I spaced mine out, and my car was lowered about 30mm, but the Integra tyres that came on them were way too small to look good. Accelerated awesomely though 
You know the 4th gen originally came with 15's? If it's got the original wheels still on it get the tyres swapped over if they're any good.

Not actually - you didn't ask if there was a difference in tyres sizes, you just said swap the tyres over - if they're both the same size though, that won't change anything!

Ok ok, you did say lower profile and I missed that in speed reading.
However, as you know, profile is ratio'd to width though, so even if the profile is the same that's still not the whole story as to how low it might sit...
