Default 5th gen prelude wheel & tire picture thread

Hi guys-
I'm looking to upgrade my wheels/tires on my 2001 base model. I haven't found a thread on this. I'm looking for 17" lightweight rims (kosei f1) and debating on tire size. Tire rack.com suggests 205 45 17. Please post some pics of your wheel/tire combo and include tire size, suspension setup and any rubbing issues.
thanks

I have ADR gt sport's size 17" with 215/40/r17. The wheels are not meant to be light, they just look good even though ADR copies most of their designs. I had the car lowered 2.5" and had no rubbing or anything. The only good thing about having a 45 series tire is the traction. You will get better beginning traction through gears because the tires will flex and mold better than a thinner tire. Good luck!
