Default 17" rims to big for ef9?

I have a set of Racing Hart Type C's 17" not sure if they will fit on my ef9. Does anyone have a pic of this setup if possible?

Thanks.

My friend is planning to do this too and I suggested him not too for performance sake and handling...but he's too stubborn. Those Buddy Club 17" 5 spoke rims got him goin'!

They'll fit with the right width, offset, tires, and ride height - but it will look like a roller skate.

Yes they will fit (+42 offset), funny how different opinions are these days...just 4-5 years ago you were'nt cool unless you HAD 17s now 15s are like gold since performance has finally become the main influence in Honda tuning. Funny how things change.

^^ I don't know about that. I guess it depends on wheather or not it's lowered at all. I have 17's on my CRX (came with the car) and they are toooo biggg. There isn't even 1/2" between the top of the tire and the wheel well. Trust me, you don't want them.
