putting 17s on my car

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

I am about to put 17 inch Focal f5s on my car. do i need to do any mods on my car so that they fit on there?

[bobafett]

it depends on if youre car is lowered, and if the rims are the correct offset...

i think you want like a 40mm offset. also i dont think your tires can be any wider than 205, but i could be wrong..

why dont you take 15 minutes and PUT THEM ON YOUR CAR, and see if they go on or not...... then post pics of course!

[Grant2k]

well, they'll go on for sure (if the bolt pattern is right). you won't have any problems as long as your offset is right, and no, your tires can't be wider than 205. i guess you may have to roll your rear fender, but that may or may not have to be done. you'll know when you start driving.

I am putting them on the rear cause I got them from a friend and the 2 front ones are warped and the tire tread sicks balls....I am just worried about the control arm and if it is going to hit it... I think that they are 205/40/17 Focal f5s and they are the right bolt pattern and I have pics of them but I am not sure how to post them up...I have a pic of the sitting beside my wheels that are on my car....I edited the pic so you can not see the wheels behind it

[Grant2k]

you really have to worry more about the tire width in the front i beleive.

http://www.geocities.com/afrealm/accord.html my car is kinda dirty and the inside look alot better than you think it is...I have started inside and then I am going to start on the outside soon, that is why I just got the wheels

[Grant2k]

it looks good like this but it's gonna be a lot higher once you put them on.

well the car is sitting on 14s, so when you put the 17s on it is possiblly going to raise it close to an inch. as for the other thing for some reason you can't like geocities cites with the [IMG] codes.

[dXsquared]

not true... its gonna be the exact same height... just looks taller... the over all diameter is the same, so the car wont get taller... it just looks taller

what is IMG codes? does anyone know of another easy site i can put my pics on that is free....I will put my friends 01 civic on there..I ahve only seen one this color before...

[pearldrop]

You can link pictures from geocities, you just have to rename the pics to end with ".txt" instead of ".jpg"
Then they work just fine.

I can get a set of four quantum tek s13 and four ziex for $400. the offset says it is a +45 on the 17x7.5. will that work? the tires on them are 240/40/17.

[bobafett]

there is no way in hell that will work :D

[slammedLXI]

240 is massive... thats like corvette tires..

Hey, haven't seen you in awhile:wave: Ummm, I hope the 240 width is a typo:confused: Widest you could get away with would be 215. The offest is perfect, you should not have to roll the rear fenders with the 215 width.

lol, oops! I guess i took a little to much medication lastnight, or alcohol. yeah that was a typo. they are just the normal 17 size tires. but thanks guys. and hi back to you too Jim, long time no chat.:wave: been a little crazy with school, work, my daughter, and maybe another one on the way.
