Jarrod,
I have a '97 GS-R sedan and am currently running 225-50 Kumho's up front with
an old set of 205-50 R1's in back. I am also running 3mm spacers up front.
I DO NOT recommend running 225's on a non Type-R Integra. You can make the tire
rub less on the inner fender by using spacers, but the springs are just too
soft and allow the chassis to dive/lean. I can drive the car hard enough where
the front tires hit a seam at the top of the front inner fender. I actually
have a groove down the middle of the tires.
I will definitely be going back to 205's for next season.

For the Integra folks out there:
How wide can I go with tires on my bone-stock 99 Integra GS-R?
Stock is 195/55/15 -- I'm sure 205/50/15s won't cause a problem, aside from
a slight diameter difference.
Anyone ever squeeze 225/50s on the stock rims? I'd guess a problem may show
up at that width--the rims are only 6" wide, after all, and the rest of the
car probably starts to come into play at that width, too. (Silly things
like suspension and fenders.....)
Thanks!
