About This Acura Integra LS 1993 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Acura Integra LS 1993 sits on a set of 17×8.25 / 17×8.25-inch JNC Jnc014 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose JNC for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Acura Integra LS builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the JNC Jnc014 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: JNC Jnc014 on the Acura Integra LS 1993
I walked around this 1993 Integra LS for a solid hour at the show, and the JNC Jnc014 setup caught my eye immediately. We are looking at a 17x8.25 spec square setup with a +32 offset all around. This is an aggressive jump from the factory 14-inch steelies or early alloys, and the stance reflects that change.
The +32 offset pushes these wheels right to the edge of the fenders on this DA chassis. You get that flush look that everyone chases, but you have to watch your clearance closely. Since this Integra is still on stock suspension, you have plenty of room to tuck, but the diameter is the real factor here.
Seventeen inches is a lot of wheel for an early nineties Honda. The Jnc014 design features a nice, deep lip that emphasizes the 8.25-inch width perfectly. You get a bold profile that fills the wheel wells in a way that stock wheels never could.
Caliper clearance is actually surprisingly good with this barrel design. You do not have to worry about the spokes hitting the stock LS brakes, which is a major win for an easy install. The hub bore matches up well enough to keep things centered and steady on the highway.
However, we need to talk about that fender gap. Because the suspension is still factory, the car sits a bit high, making the 17-inch diameter look even more pronounced. You might see some minor rubbing at full lock if your tires are too chunky.
The spoke pattern on these JNCs spreads the weight evenly, giving the car a track-ready aesthetic despite the stock springs. If you push this car hard into a corner, the wider track width from the offset will definitely improve your grip. Just keep an eye on your inner fender liners if you plan on carrying a full load of passengers.
What We Recommend for Acura Integra LS 1993 Owners
If you want to run the JNC Jnc014 on your own DA, I suggest starting with a quality coilover kit first. The stock suspension leaves too much wheel gap for a 17-inch wheel to look truly dialed in. Lowering the car just an inch or two will change the entire geometry and visual flow.
We always recommend a square setup for these cars to keep the handling predictable and neutral. Running 17x8.25 at all four corners makes tire rotations easy and keeps your spare tire situation simple. Never go staggered on a front-wheel-drive platform unless you want to ruin your turn-in response.
For tires, do not go too wide or you will be rolling those fenders until your hands go numb. A 205/40/17 tire offers the perfect amount of stretch to keep the sidewall tucked inside the fender lip. It keeps the setup functional while giving you that sharp, modern look.
The biggest mistake I see owners make is ignoring the offset. If you go lower than +30, you will be fighting fender contact every time you hit a bump. Stay near that +32 mark to keep your paint intact and your alignment within spec.
If you find that the wheels sit just a hair too far inward, use a tiny 3mm spacer to get that final millimeter of perfection. Just make sure you have enough thread left on your wheel studs. Safety always comes before style in our book.
Style and Build Analysis
The Hyperblack finish on these JNCs is the real secret sauce of this build. It shifts between a dark gunmetal and a light silver depending on how the sun hits the spokes. It complements the factory Integra paint without clashing or looking too aftermarket.
The multi-spoke design of the Jnc014 pays homage to classic racing wheels from the era. It bridges the gap between the 90s nostalgia of the Integra and the modern street style we see today. It looks like a car that could hold its own in a magazine feature from 1998.
Proportion is everything with an Integra, and these wheels take up just enough visual space. They don't overwhelm the slender lines of the DA chassis, which is a common problem with over-sized wheels. The balance feels intentional and calculated.
We have seen plenty of builds with gaudy, chrome-heavy wheels that ruin the car's soul. This JNC setup avoids that trap by keeping the aesthetic clean and focused. It feels like an evolution of the factory design rather than a total replacement.
When you stand back and look at the car in profile, the Jnc014 wheels anchor the entire aesthetic. They give the car a planted, aggressive road presence that demands attention without screaming for it. It is a masterclass in how to modernize a classic.
Why We Love This Build
I love this build because it captures the spirit of what we do at WheelFront. The Hyperblack finish glows under the parking lot lights, and those 17-inch barrels fill the arches just right. It is clean, it is purposeful, and it respects the history of the DA platform while pushing it into the future. Watching this Integra roll down the strip is a treat because the wheels catch the light and create a beautiful, dark blur. It makes me want to go find an LS project of my own and start wrenching immediately. This is how you build an icon. Stop dreaming and start turning those bolts.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Acura Integra LS owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 17×8.25 / 17×8.25-inch wheels fit my Acura Integra LS? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Acura Integra LS owners run 17×8.25 / 17×8.25-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
