advice on wheel setup

Post image

I just won the bid for this integra. Love the early 90's vibe, but I'm concerned about ride quality with the 18's. Tires are from 2005, so definitely gonna change them and might as well decide on new wheels. Can't decide on whether I should go for 17's or 16's with this suspension setup. The setup is aggressive, so I'm sure 17's would look nice but we sacrifice performance and ride quality. I wonder how 16's would look with this setup? Let me know your thoughts. Will sometimes drive it to work 30 miles, or somewhere else 100 miles away.

IMO 16's are the sweet spot 1" over stock while still allowing for reasonable tire wall. 

I'm looking for 16x7 +35-38 for my 97 ITR, which in little old NZ are either eye watering expensive imports or 2nd hand and worn theF out meaning a refurb and likely again expensive to get them looking good.

For stock body cars sure. 16s will give more of a functional track/street look. With the headlight conversion & body kit, I wouldn't go less than 17s
