Recently, I purchased 17x7 (+40 Offset) wheels for my LX Accord Coupe (original wheels are 15x6 +55 offset, tires 205/65/15) and I was wondering what would be the best tire-size fit for those. I want to make sure there will be no rubbing, or any other issues. Some people suggested that 225/55/17 would be a fit, some suggested that the widest tire size would be 205 (45/17). Do you think 215/50/17 would fit OK.

thanks in advance,

please guys...I need the advice...

 

anyone???

 

215/50/17 would be perfect compared to your stock tires 205/65/15

205/65/15 = 25.49 in. overall diameter (stock)

215/50/17 = 25.46 in. overall diameter (perfect fit but is this a typical size?)

215/45/17 = 24.60 in. overall diameter (a tad small, standard size, would be ok)

205/45/17 = 24.26 in. overall diameter (too small, i don't think this is a typical size)


You could go wider with a slightly thinner sidewall but I would stay with 215/50/17.

 

THANKS!
I did find 215/50 17, many brands!
