The OEM tire size for integra is 195/55/15. Is it possible to put 195/50/15 on the car without screwing it up?

cant imagine that would be a problem, just smaller side walls, not even much smaller

^^^ it'll be fine. you might not even know the difference...prob as much difference in the feel of different tires as there will be in 55 vs 50 series.

yeah, get 205 15 tires.

you are gonna get more contact patch, and barely any difference in the turning of your wheel.

lol, i just saw somebody selling a set of 195/50/15 on craigslist. That's why i'm asking. Can I put 195/50/15 front, and 195/55/15 rear without screwing up the alignment? or do I have to do a whole set of same size.

as long as the fronts are the same and the rears are the same you are good to go.

the lower the sidewall the bigger the gap you will have in the wheel well and it may look real weird.

i wouldjust stick with the cheapest you can get for stock size

there are just lots of minor problems with changing the stock size on the drive axle as long as the change is not to drastic

it will affect your gearing.....in this case going smaller might give you a little quicker acceleration but you will be at a higher rpm at the same speed, so in theory lower gas mileage.

also you speedometer and odometer will not be exactly correct.....your speedometer would read a little faster than you are going and you will be puting a few extra tenths on the odometer that you are not actually driving

but as far as "messing" anything up you should be fine as long as the tires on the same axle are the same size
