17" rim but what size tire

[Crazy12508]

So I finally found some rims for my 92 lx. Spects are
Rim size 17x7
Offset 40mm
With 1" lip
So I don't know wat size tire to go with. I really wat to put 215/45 17 but I really don't know if they're gonna rub, or I might need spacer for them. And I really want some cushion. Espacially here in boston.

i just got some wheels with same specs with no tires, im going with 215-40-17...not too thick (avoid rubbing) and not too thin (not easy to get flat)

I was able to stuff 225/45/17 On some bbs 17x7.5. Offset of 38.

I have a slight rub in the rear when the suspension gets loaded. So You will be able to get away with the 215/40 just fine.

Does having the 40 series tire, hit bumps harder. I was told that the 45 series makes the ride more confortable

Yes the thicker the sidewall the smoother it will ride. 40 will give you better cornering, depending on the brand and class of the tire.

I'm gonna go with the 215/45 17. The 40's look nice but if it gives better cornering I don't think ima need it unless I plan on just speeding through corners.

It really depends on your drop.

You won't rub in most situations typically. I rubbed on the back quarter when I had people in the car when I was turning hard, but otherwise had no issues.

I had a 1.8/1.5 drop on AGX, which probably make it closer to a 1.7/1.4-1.3 by the time all was said and done (AGXis a drop-killer).

I had no ride complains with the 45 series tire.

so agx feels stock? next month im gonna get soem new shocks and i would love not to spend $800 on full coilver set since im stock motor but i want something that will work with my neuspeed 1.7(F) 1.5(R) and make it feel stock or better

I had Neuspeed Sports with AGX, and I loved the ride/handling.

However, that being said, I sold my AGX to another member on here and he claimed that they were blown, and i had put less than 15k on them.

I'd recommend against them, and I'd recommend going with Koni Yellows. You'll have a much better setup.

Ill say go with 225/40/17

Depends how low you are.

On stock height, you can get away with 215/45's no problem.

On a sport drop, you might rub when taking hard turns on 215/45's.

On a race drop, i would go with 205/40's.

You see how low my car is, and when i put my 17's on (215/45)
I cant turn with the steering wheel locked, because i will rub. BADLY!
Regular driving its straight, but you still scrape the inner fender plastic on dips.

Hope that helps.

Agree you have a good point there

[Austintizzzle]

On my integra i was running 225/45/17's and only rubbed when i turned real hard. I would go with 45's
