It depends on the tire size, really (unless you don't run any... which I don't recommend ). To be honest, I cannot seem to find a tire that will fit both your car and those wheels safely within specifications.

205/40/17's are just under 7% oversized. A safe limit would be less than 3%.

Honestly, I don't think this is place for this request. Its been a rule for many years that opinion threads have no place in this technical board. The Appearance/Honda & Acura forum might be better suited for you.
