Icon2 Rota 17x9.5 +12 Rare Fitment Issue 01 accord 2dr

hey all Im about to put the 17x9.5 + 12 shoes on. Im picking up 215/45/17 tires for it. im trying to see how much fender rolling i would have to do on a 01 honda accord coupe. ive searched all over. Since this is a rare setup, its hard to find good answers! thanks

has anyone ever seen these wheels on our cars?

Cheers

I haven't seen this setup before. But as someone who has researched and done stance before. I can tell you that you will need lots of camber and fender pulling on a Honda to get that offset and width on the car.

205? Seriously? To the OP: you will need at least 245 on those wheels.

this^

you may get flamed for going with rotas though.

as far as rolling and camber, you will need to pull and roll and have a good bit of camber. best way to tell is to jack up the car, remove one wheel and mount the new wheel w/o tires and then compress the suspension to see about fitment. from then on it is a matter of trial and error

ps. you need to search more because that wheel size is not as uncommon as you think
