wide tires?

[Straight Success]

The wheel offset also comes into play when worrying about whether or not a tire will rub. The tire size and car height are only partial factors.

Very true. I'm noticing some who run the OEM 17 x 8 Acura RL rims @ +45 are sometimes rubbing and others are not. Some are more dropped than others, and also they are running different tire sizes (215/45/17 and 225/45/17). It's amazing how 10mm can make a difference in rubbing or not.

Some who are running 225s are not rubbing, so I am curious about 235 (which is the stock tire that came with the car).

Sorry for thread jacking.

I hated 205/55/15 on the cd5 alloys.
Right now i have the 205/55/15 on a 6 inch wide wheel, its better, but i may go down to a 195/55 or even a 195/50

225/45/17's and no rubbing at alll , i also wonder if 235 would rub

i bet the offset on your rims are +35. my jeep ones are +32ish

the rsx rims i have are +45 and the mazda ones say +55 on them i want like +25 or less lol

My tires are 225/45/17 and I rub on sharp turns and small bumps. Is the only way to fix the rubbing to raise the car up more?

inner or outter or both?

thats not a bad offset you may have to roll the fenders in the rear to keep it from rubbing

[tJoodz]

Rubs on the outer edges. Probably going to have to roll the fenders. Is this a pricey procedure?

This is just an educated guess, but you may probably be dropped wayyy tooo low. How low are you?

naw not hard to do man look in the diy section on here or other forums and there are many ways to do it some free some will cost a bit of cash

[Accrdwgnguy]

I have Prelude VTEC wheels, 15x6.5, running 205/55/15. They rub at full lock on the steering under 5 mph. I have a 1 inch drop.
