A while back ago i told my friend to run 215 / 40 / 17 on his rims and they fit, but i didnt like the fact that the tires looked small compared to the rims.

I've been searching here for people that ran beefier tires, so has anyone ran a bigger size on these rims like the one in the title? And if so, what brand and etc..

Here are some pics, otherwise you wouldnt open this post. so help me out...







Check my sig for the update of my car.

 

Too big on an integra, looks like your rolling on a 5 star dinner plate, sell those and get some 16s or 15s, it will look a lot bigger, BUTTTT it's your car so do what you want.

 

I know a lot of poeple here prefer 15's and 16's but i wanted the 17's. I wont be racing in these, just for driving around in weekends. In the future i will buy some 15's rotas and some BFG drag radials for the track and stuff like that.
