Default Tire size question

ok heres the thing...if you go to tire rack and go to over size tires for a civic to 15" it comes up 195-50-15.

Well if you have an Integra drivetrain in your car...if you pull up the stock tire size for an integra it comes up with 195-55-15


so which size whould i go with?

205/50/15s have a lot wider contact patch and they are alot better to have then some lil skinny tires when someone rolls up and tests ur manhood at a light.... like pontiac said, wider, is better....

Yup...wider iz better! And it probably doesn't matter to you but realize the 205/50/15's are going to have a sidewall height 5mm (1/4") taller than the 195/50's. Get them big meats!
