I have a 98 honda accord lx 4 cyl sedan.....I want to get new rims and I'm thinking about 17 inch tenzo r passion 5's.....what size tires should I get with them? I know the most popular size tires for a 17 inch rim is 205/40/17, but will something wider fit? Like 225/45/17? Thanks!

 

215-45-17

 

im on 205-40-17's

 

yes 225 will fit

 

For an 6th gen Accord 225-45/17

NO 40 series stuff

 

215-45-17 will keep the same overall diameter. 225-45-17 is slightly wider, but it also means that overall diameter will be slightly taller than stock, so your spedometer will be ever-so-slightly off. Wtih 215's, the sidewall should be flush with the rim (completely vertical, not bowed in/out)
