What size tires?
Stock EK wheels are 15 X 6 +45mm.
Your car probably handles like shit being that low with no camber correction in the rear. Especially if you used your Ingalls kit to reduce neg camber in the front.
Put some neg camber back on the front (around -2*) and look up the "washer trick" for rear camber correction. Reduce as much negative camber in the back (I am sure you have plenty) as you can while keeping the rear tires off of the fenders.
PS This is the autocross/road racing forum.

I'd suggest you find some better resources. I bet w0rd can suggest some. I'd also bet that you can find plenty of people who have fit 15x6.5 40mm offset wheels onto your specific car and can tell you exactly which tires rub and don't rub if you seach one of the Honda specific forums.

15 X 6.5 +40mm clears the inside fine. That's what I use.
You just need a little neg camber front and rear to keep the outside of the tires off the fenders. You will ruin the fenders otherwise.

205/50/15 Falken Azenis which are wider than your normal 205.
It's lowered with old, used and abused Eibach Prokit springs .
Drop is probably about 1.75 front and 1.25 rear.
I have one washer in the rear, and no camber correction in the front.
It's far from optimal for autocrossing, but I work with it.

"Around here" is relative. I've used Wilsey Auto Service and Bob Lee tire, both in St. Pete. Both are good, but not cheap. I think Wilsey has better equipment and is a little cheaper than Bob Lee. I paid a total of $102 for mounting and balancing of 4 tires at Bob Lee a few months ago. $10 mounting, $10 balancing, $2 valve stem and $2 disposal fee... times 4.
I'd really like to find a good place that is closer to "around here" for me, which would be the Clearwater area. Anybody got any suggestions?
