    What do you mean it won't work? You always keep the same outside diameter when you're swapping tires and that formula/calculator helps you do it.

    A 225 is entirely too wide for a civic/integra. Use a 215 max but only with the correct offset and stiff enough suspension to prevent hitting the fenders...205/50-15 or 205/45-16 is the ideal size. I've used 215/45-16's on a 16x7.5 wheel with 1/2" wheel spacers for my porsche brakes and it didn't look too out of proportion, just a little aggresive...if Azenis were available in 215/40-16's i'd get them again.
