Anyone Riding 17's on a EG HB?
I was just wondering if anyone has 17's on their EG HB? and if so how is the ride and power with the 17's on? i'm just worried my car is gona feel slow as hell when i put them on [not that it was fast to begin with] but i just wanna see what other ppl feel about 17's on my little DX engine.

well i have a hb with 17's in the pic next to u and its slammed to my ride is nice i have stcok struts and i have H&R lowering springs love it man. as long as ur tires are at least 40's its not that bad at all. and i have a B18B1 in my car and im running. 15.8 in the 1/4 mile and im about a mile above sea level i would probably do a second better at sea level . .

you may love it, but hes running a dx engine.... no hp, no torque...
I would not do it if I were you, 17's are way too big for a hatch first of all, second the d15b7 is made to take you from point A to point B...not much more, adding more weight is only going to make things worse for you.

I think you won't be happy with the performance. You'll notice that your car will fee like it has less torque because of the size of the wheel. I have a 99 civic si and the difference between stock and my 18s is huge!

im rollin on 17's now and i hate it... im selling them and getting 16's... they rub after you get up to like 40 mph and the tires are so thin you feel every bump... not a good idea for daily driving... id say rock the 16's and slam it

worst experience ever when i had my 17's. tires rub every now and then. car feels a lot heavier than before and you feel every bump on the road. 16's would be perfect.
