I've had my 02 Si for a month now and am thinking of putting on some new wheels, but I have no clue what size to get. I don't want to get something to big so that I can feel every bump known to man and jack the smooth ride, so if you guys could help me out with some input on sizes 15, 16, 17.... what would be best cnsidering performance wise and wieght as well. thanks.

for 15's, either stock size or 205 55's, for 16 205 50's, for 17's 205 45's...all of these sizes are almost the exact same combo as the stock wheel/tire combo which is key for best overall performance IMO

215's will fit right? on a 16/50 tire --- it must --- ive seen 18's on the ep's.

Dont' worry 215/50 will fit. It's just that 205/50 is closer to the overall stock diameter.

stock = 24.2in
205/50 = 24.1in
215/50 = 24.5in

Not much of a difference though.
