About to get some new wheels. My current ones (that came with the car when I got it) are 17x7 Motegi MR116 wheels. Running 215/45/17 tires in the rear and a 225/45/17 on the front right and a 205/45/17 on the front left (the car came that way, it makes me mad too).

New wheels are going to be 17x8.5 STR's with a 30 offset. Currently have 195/45/17 or 195/40/17 tires all around (seller isn't entirely sure). But they're pretty much bald anyway.

I saw that the FAQ said that 205/40/17 tires would be best on 17" wheels. This sounds right, but I wanted to see if there was any other input on the matter.

Car is a 2000 Honda Civic DX coupe, not lowered.


I'm new to the Civic community, so thanks in advance for helping me out

Feriohhh

8.5" wide? You should be looking at at least a 225 or better yet a 235-245. Of course, we'd need to know a little more about your actual setup to know what'll fit without rolling/rubbing. What kind of driving/weather is this for? Do you need a tire for wet, snow?

I picked up the wheels last night. Updating now that the tires are 205/40/17 all around. Two are brand new, the others are balding from being stanced.

As for setup, the car is on stock suspension. I will be rolling the fenders shortly (it could use it even with the current wheels and tires). I live in Texas, so the weather is almost always warm. Don't need tires for snow. I've run both all-season and summer tires on my previous vehicle. This will be my daily.
