hey guys i finally got my car running good and got a handful of cosmetic mods and i was wondering if this wheel and tire package would fit and if not what would i have to do to make it work...i would imagine if anything th tire would be what would do it but idk so i figured you guys would. i am planning on running a 17x7" rim with 225/45/zr17 tires.

thanks in advance
eric

 

also i was wondering what tire i would have to run to make my 18"x 17.5 work

 

What car? What chassis? What year?

 

and what car will this be going on?

you are going to get a bunch of people telling you to put 15's or 16's on your car. just ignore them.

check out this site...

you put in your stock tire size, then plug in the size you are looking at, and it will tell you how much your speedo will be off.

example: if your stock tire size is 195/55/15, you would want to run a 205/40/17 tire

OK...so figuring you've got a 97 dx: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1982659

That wheel size will fit but the largest tire size you'll want to run is 205/40/17. I had this size setup on my car for a few years and it didn't rub much at all. Be sure you get a +45 offset wheel.

 

shrug, i just don't like the stance of a civic on 17's or higher.. i mean thats cool you bought rims and you want everyone to see.. but it looks like high school.

shrug your car...

i think a slammmed civic with 15's or 15's tucked with mad camber looks hotter... but again..

your car..

if you run goofy 17's or 18's from wheelmax.. i live in mass too, when you drive by.. i'm going to luagh at you... but in a kinda, ohh look at that little one go way..

 

thank you very much and yes it is a 97 dx i appreciate the help and garagealchemist- its cool man i mean yea everyone has their own opinions and i personally like bigger rims i just like the look to each his own right. you will prolly never see me anyway im western mass. but yea i mean if you see me laugh away man just wave lol no hard feeling bro. thanks again.

yump

205/40/17 is recommended for Honda/Acura

 

I would definitely go with 205/40/17 tires. If your car is lowered I'm sure that the 225/45/17 will rub like crazy, plus your speedometer will be inaccurate.
