Will 17x7.5 w/ +48 offset, 225-45-17 tires rub on a 6th Gen. I have heard of people rubbing the wheel wells w/ +40 offset, and +45 offset seems to work for people. Is the +48 going to rub the inner fender? Thanks.

BTW - is the search function not working, it keeps going back with nothing.

EDIT - Yes this is a 2000 ACCORD V6, not a Prelude.

should work *shrugs* not a whole lot of 6th gens here

 

Are they all on the V6 forum?

 

now that i did some calculations that offset should be perfect...

i dont know where the 6th gen owners are

 

what is the conversion factor from inches to mm? Thanks.

 

Dude I think 225-45-17 is to big. you should just get 215-45-17 then your for sure wont rub I think. But if your still not sure go check out the 6th Gen v6 Forum. http://www.v6accord.com

 

no way 225/45-17 is too big...its a smaller diameter tire than stock

 

I think the right size for V6 is 225/50

And 48 offset is fine.

 

Tire Heights:

Stock 205-60-16 ----- 25.69"
215/45/17 ------------ 24.62" Too small if you ask me
225/45/17 ------------ 24.97" Little bit smaller
225/50/17 ------------ 25.86" Slightly larger, but OK

He is going with the 225/45/17 because that tire size is more readily avialable (cheaper) and he is dropped, so he wants to be on the safe side.
