Moat of the time 17" rims comes inc 17x7. 205/40/R17 would be fine. some people even put 205/45/R17 or 215/40/R17.

Re: HELP: rim width size?? (epraion62)

so is it possible for my rims to be 17x8 with 205/40ZR17 tires or 17x7.5?? also if my tires are 205/40ZR17, does that mean i could lower my car at least 1.5 inches?? cause i really wanna lower my civic that looks like a monster truck with it being soo high...
