Yes i have searched this topic for the last hour or so but i could not find the answer that im looking for. my question is, will a 215/45/17 fit on a 4th gen prelude without rubbing. the car is still on stock suspension and im looking for a little more width and height then the 205/40's that were on there. also has anyone had any experience with Capitol Negotiaor tires? i havea local guy that can get me a set of 215 45 17 capitols for pretty cheap and iw as wondering if they were any good. if not then i may just end up going with 215 40 17. any input will be appreciated. thanks

 

I had 215/45/17's on my old 92 Si. The car also had nuespeed sport springs, but the only rubbing i encountered was when i would turn sharp and brake hard.

 

so do you think that with stock springs there would be any rubbing at all? and also has anyone had any experience with Capitol Negotiator tires before if so please comment

 

I can't be 100% sure, but i doubt that you would rub at all with stock suspension. And about the tires, sorry, i havent heard anything about them. I stick with my Yokohama AVS ES100's and i love them.

 

I'm running 215/45/17's on a 17x7 wheel, on stock suspension. No rubbing. Discounttiredirect.com was offering free shipping a little while ago, not sure if the promotion is still running.

 

anyone else have an input?

 

i've used both 215-45's and 215-40's... 17x7 37 offset. lowered on neuspeed race springs/koni yellows. the 45's rubbed a lil on the rear but i just trimmed the lil piece on the bumper.

 

i thought to keep the same rolling radius they should be 215/40/17, i have them and there are no problems what so ever

 

as long as your offset isn't extremely low you'll be alright

I belive you are correct. Many people (namely those in areas with poor road conditions) go with the 45 series sidewall over the 40 series to gain a little more rim protection. I think the larger sidewal on the 45 equates to about a 3% difference in spedometer reading at highway speeds.
