What would be better for a 95 accord ....205/45/17 or 215/45/17? I'm just worried that the 215's will rub.

 

The 215/45 will give you a little more meat on the ground not to mention a little taller side wall for the potholes of america

 

205/45/17's on mine... never tried the 215's but i wish i hadem cuz of all dem damnmmn potholes. and it all depends on your drop

 

i use to use 205s on my cd7 accord

 

215s for me--they work just fine--depends on if you are lowering or lowered your car too

 

215's won't on a normal drop. 205's just look to skinny for the 17's. I would recommend the 215/45/17

 

215 here and never get any rubbage...i'm going to be using 225's next time with a 15mm spacer...

 

215/45/17

 

hey i'm thinking about getting some rims from a friend, his tires are:

205/40/17

do you guys think they'll fit? i got a 5th gen [94] oh and i plan on slamming it if that has anything to do w/ it lol

how much of drop you talking about?

you might want to think about the strength of the sidewall if you into road/autox

 

215/45/17 here...no problems. rides smoother than 205/45/17

 

no gap kinda drop.. the ones were you barely get over the kmart speed bumps and this is just for daily driving.

 

SEARCH...17'' tire size selection is covered AT LEAST once a week

 

thanks for the replies guys. I hope the 215/45/17 wont rub if I drop the car with neuspeed sports. I remember that my 205/55/15 tires would rub my sidewall on my 92 accord when i turned the wheel all the way to the right. I hope i wont have that problem the next time around

 

Sorry for being ignorant, but these sizes are all for a 17x7 size wheel, right?

im pretty sure they are, but 215 for me also, NYC is filllllled with unsuspecting pot holes...

 

205/45/17 on my accord.

 

205/45/17s on my 95ex lowered 2in all around nice smooth combo no rubs

 

no body use 215/40/17???

i was just about to get tires for my 94 EX with koni yellow/Neuspeed Race slammed, so i thought i should run 215/40/17 instead of 45 coz of the taller tires might rub......any suggestion?

 

I think im gonna go with 215-45-17's when I ordert my new C5's this week just since the roads here arent perfect and im not trying to bend the lips on them.

I picked up 215/45/17 Kuhmo 711's this summer on my 94 accord ex lowered with Neuspeed sport springs. Not a single rub thus far.

The 215/45's just look meaner. 205 is only 1 cm wider than stock ex rims.

 

Yea I just ordered my Racing Hart C5's today and got 215/45/17's so I can have a little more tire between the rims and the road.

 

205/40/17's
I tried 215 but they rubbed because my car is lowered 3 inches.

 

i am currently using 215/45 on my 17x7.5's and have no issues with rubbing...my next set of tires will be either 225/45 with a 10-15mm spacer or 235/45 with a 25mm spacer...i like my tires thick
