    no problems

    are they 4X100 and 40 mm of backspace?
    205/40/17s are the tire of choice, but 215/40/17 fits as well

    EDDIT: I found the info on them Bolt Pattern: 4x100, 4x114.3 those should fit right? ALSO would like to do a brake upgrade, would bigger rotors be better then Cross Drilled Sloted rotors?

    4x114.3 would not fit on a 3g. it sthe pattern for the 4th gen accord if i am not mistaken.

    also, 215 would fit, but for daily driver, its just pushing the limit and ur just putting a lil strain on ur engine with the 215 and ur just taking ur chances with it. I am gonna go into a huge argument with the 215, but its all i am gonna say about it.

    Also, when u get lowering springs, I highly suggest you get Progress group springs. They got some really good spring rates (taking the words right from Jim's mouth) and like Jim suggested, max out the rebound on the Koni's if u got em (which u really should) and then get the 2nd gen lude control arms.

    might i add. I LOVEEEEE THE RIMS. i would get a 15inch on those babies gunmetal

    Am pretty sure he's talking about dual drilled rims that are 4x100mm AND 4x114.3mm.

    215mm tire widths require 45mm offset, anyless and you will be rolling the rear fenders to clear or worse, NEVER CLEARING. I'm not a fan of getting 17's in 215mm width for handling sake. If you have to have the 17's, just get the right size, 205/40-17. 215/40-17 tires are taller than oem and will sap the cars acceleration, not something is has allot of to begin with. 215/40-16 or 215/45-16 would be the way to go for handling or when you have absolutely no choice, like in 18" since theirs no such thing as 205mm 18" tire.
