Im looking to get a set of these rims in 17'' or 18" not sure yet.
what tire sizes would you use ???
91 4 door accord

 

if you got 18's, you would have to use something like 215/40 and below. i think 225 would rub. hell 215 would prolly rub sometimes too

 

Well, for my 17's, I use a 215/40.

 

for my 17's i use 215/45.

 

WHAT ARE THE REASON FOR THESE SIZES?

 

I think in order to keep your speedo in check you need to use, 215/40 for the 17's, it gives you enough rubber on the road, and is the correct plus size. check rubbage though. a friend of mine that drives a 93 had to go to a 205 cause the 215's rubbed on her 3" drop...

 

the different numbers stand for different things. take a 215/45/17 tire...

the 215 is the width of the tire...in milimeters i believe...so it would be a 21.5cm wide tire. the 45 is pretty much size of the sidewall, but i'm not sure how its measured, but the higher the number, the bigger the sidewall, and the 17...well, thats for the size rim your putting the tire on.

hope this helps.

the 45 is 45% of the width of the tire. so the sidewall for a 215/45/17 would be 45%of 215

 

205/40/R17

205 - width of the tire

40 - height of the sidewall

R - Radial tire

17 - size of rim tire will fit

maybe you people should look in on the civic forum every once in a while............ (j/k)

yea, thats way i see it. more cushion for the pushin...sort of

 

CAN YOU POST YOUR RIM PICS?

 

225/45/17 will fit on 17x7 or 17x7.5...i think 235/45/17 is where it starts to rub without some spacers...

 

17" rims, lowered on h&r sport springs.
