Wat size tires should i get

[Black_Knight]

I have a 1990 honda accord EX 2 door, and i have some 4 bolt universal 17 inch konig (zeige) wheels im deciding wat size tires should i get for those wheels. (for those who has 17 inch wheels on there accord can i see a pic of how it looks like and can u give me some info on wat sizes are good). thanx alot.

[blackcb7]

a good tire size is about 215-45-17

[mondojackal]

no..205/45-17 is about right, but 215/40-17 will keep the tread wider for more traction and the sidewall shorter for better looks, and no tire scrub.

My bro is a honda pro and he says get 225/45/17 because it is wide and it'll be thicker so the ride wont be as rough but from wat u guys say it sounds rite too.

[The G-Man]

That shit will rub the shit out of your fenders. Way too wide, and even taller because it is so wide.

soo 215/45/17 will be ok cus it shouldnt be long before i get tires for my wheels. plus i have it drop 2 inches in the front and its gonna be 1.5 or 1.75 in the rear but wat do u guys perfer 1.5 or 1.75.

Depending on your offset you might even rub with a 215/45. I rub a little with a lot of weight in the car. I tightened up the back end and I'm fine now...but I also have +40 offset wheels, which is on the very edge of what works.

soo u guys r saying tat i should get 205/45/17, but i want a smooth ride with no rubbing wat do u guys perfer

sorry to thread jack but i dint think it was worth posting the same topic i got 15" rims on my car and am looking at 195/60HR15 zexius no drop on the car just wondering what you guys think

[Black_Knight]

hey 93cord is ur car drop or is it still at stock height?

I've heard that 215 is about the widest you could put on a cb7 without getting any tire rub. I have just ordered new 17'' rims and I am gonna get 215/40R17 I was thinking about going with 215/45 first but I was told that there would be no difference in ride quality with 215/40, only difference would be a slightly shorter sidewall for better looks.

you can fit a 225/40-18 without rubbing but the rear fenders will have to be rolled. rob has that size on the rear of his car. and they fit ok.
