this is her with the 245/40s on. Little chunky but I like it like that. I think it’ll look even sweeter once the spacers are on.
The stock ASpec wheels have little pockets that, once a spacer is installed, the original studs that come through the spacer contact these pockets slightly (when going with 20mm; with 25mm, they don’t stick through. 15mm would be too deep and don’t work) in the search function of this forum, search “20mm spacers” and look at early posts in the ASpec integra section. @JC-RH was one of the first to do it back in summer of 22 and outlines all of the issues involved, etc. he actually ran 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear while lowered and it looked sick (before he went full coilover and 3 piece wheels)

Tires look great - Just purchased a A-Spec 6 speed manual and I am in the throws on whether or not to swap out the OEMs (I've never been impressed with OEM tires manufactures use). The Conti's aren't bad and better than most so trying to justify dropping $650 plus on the swap (Discount Tire did offer me $80 a tire for the Conti's).

Anyway, how has the ride been since you put these on? I was looking at these (DWS 06 Plus) and the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 tires. I don't rock and roll with my vehicles as much anymore so I probably place emphasis on low noise and ride as much as handling.

Appreciate anyone's input/experience on your change of tires over the OEM Conti's and how noticeable it was? Any other tires I should consider (know the Michelin PSA4s are another popular one with great ratings)

Unfortunately I had this car totaled out in an accident but the time I did have with the new tires were great! Little sloppy with handling but the road noise was reduced a decent amount and it ate smaller cracks and holes in the road a little better; felt more cushy. I am waiting a couple more miles on my new integra’s OEM tires before I do the same thing on this one; likely before the cold and wet weather hit here in the NE. The DWS06+ are awesome in my book!

Sorry to hear about the accident - I just went over a 1000 miles and one of my milestones is please no one hit me/put a door ding in until I least have it for several months and 4 digit mileage.

praying it doesn’t happen to you at all; either one! Safe journeys out there and let us know how you like your new rubber; whichever ones you wind up going for
