Default How big can you go?
What is the biggest size rubber you can go with for a 17x7 rim? I have a 99 Si lowered 1.5 inches? Thanx in advance.

Oh sorry, I'll clarify my question, for example like 205 40 R17 or 215 40R17, how big is too big and start getting you into trouble with like rubbing and premature wear.

What does that mean??


Personally I would stay with the 205's though
its cause most of the people on this site think with rims espeacially on a honda, you shouldnt go bigger then 16s.

i just want to say, nitto nt450 tires suck major donkeyballs. if your goin to get nittos, get the nitto555. but i think the best tire for your money would be Khumo Ecsta Supra 712s.
