I need a pic of 17" wheels with 45 series tires on it.... and if there are any with Falken Azenis on them, I'd appreciate it!

Also include the nameor make of the tire, if possible....

Wow, those are WAY too big to be on a civic! The proper tire size on a 17" wheel should be 205/40/17 for a civic. Add a wider tire at 215 with a side profile ratio of 45 and the overall diameter of the wheel/tire and you got some 4x4 action going.

this tire guesstimate would be for an accord.... slightly bigger wheel well on it.

 

Perfect size if you ask me. I love it

205/40/17 is too thin.

If you think a 205/40/17 tire is too thin, then you shouldn't be putting a 17" wheel on a Civic then. Anytime you want to upsize your wheels, you're gonna have to go with a lower profile tire to maintain the proper overall diameter of the wheel/tire.

too much sidewall , takes away the effect of low profile and it looks like it will rub too if you dropped it

Ummm... no they're not. They changed the tire diameter and the wheel wells on the 7th gen. Stock is now 185/65/15, making a 215/45/17 just .1" in diameter off of stock.
The car looks so damn high cuz I'm waiting until the spring to put coilovers in. Thats just the stock wheel gap you're looking at.
