I am considering a set of wheels which are 17x7.5", with a 45mm offset. Will a wheel of this size fit on an R? I am thinking 205/40 17 or 215 40/17 Tires.

I Tried seaching, but did not have any success . . .

Thanks In Advance
:-)

Hey Jeff I thought you sold the R, did you get another?

I *think* Yoshi is running 17x7.5 but I cannot remember the offset.

 

yes they do fit. When i bought my car it had 17x7.5 rims on it w/ 215-40-17 tires

 

Did the 215/40 17 rub much? I would assume there would be some rubbing during tight turns.

Yeah the R is gone :-/. Actually I am eyeing the new TSX A-Spec wheels for my 5-lug Civic. Those are beaustiful wheels, and I think they would be sweet on the white Civic.

 

i had no rubbing issues, but imo 17" is too big lol

Pics of the rims.. I can't seem to recall what they look like.

 

17x7.5JJ +40 TE-37's fit...

 

Identical to the TL A-Spec wheel, only 17" insead of 18". . .

**EDIT**

Found a couple pics of the TSX wheel:

 

will fit np.
mine are 17x7.5 +40 offset w/ 205/40R17 tyres.
w/ +45 offset, 215/40R17 tyres will be np.

yoshi - who just got home and must confess to chris that he shot partially w/ a 20D tonite

 

yeah i had 17x7.5 volk te37s +40 offset with 205-20-17 i never had any problems




sorry about the huge pic can someone tell me how to resize it please

 

I have 17x8 on my R but i can't remember the offset. my car is also slammed 2 inches and i have no problems..

 

i was just going to ask a question just like this.

does anyone know if 17x7.5 with a 50 offset will fit an r?
with a 215/45.

 

I ran 17x7.5 Subzero's with with a 43mm offset with 205/40R17 Kumho's and there was no rubbing whatsoever. My car is lowered about 2inches in the front and 1.75inches in the back.

 

[QUOTE=jeff652]Did the 215/40 17 rub much? I would assume there would be some rubbing during tight turns.QUOTE]

I've personally noticed rubbing only in tight turns, and slopping dips. However, during normal driving "No Problems" at all. In addition, "Bridestone S-03 are wider than other brands of tires."

Rims - 17*7.5
Offset - 43
Tires - S0-3 215/17/40
Dropped - 1.25" all around

 

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

I will post a pic when I get the new wheels/tires on.

:-D

are you looking to put those mugen rims that are in the classifieds on your car?

 

I ran some 17x7.5 +40 offset gram lights and they didn't rub...i've also been running 17x7 +48 offset mugen's and they don't rub either.
