[TWOLOUDNPROUD]

Has any one put 17's with P225/ 50R17's on there Accord and if you did let see some pic's

Those tires would be massive... I can't see how they would fit at all without rubbing.

too tall and ugly!
get 205/40 or 215/40 if youre not dropped too low.

[Justin86]

yea that is a lot of tire, you be better off with a 40 series, esp depending on the drop.

If you want more tire, I'd get 16s on a 205/45 or 215/45 tire. Unless you're dropped at least 2", 17s look too big on our small accords.

man what u talkin about? Your sig says you have 17" wheels? Dont try to stop his shine.
17's are perfect man.. and they're really popular so you can get nice designs in this diameter

I disagree. Our wheel arches are enormously huge and anything less than a 17-inch wheel would require a drop close to, and maybe more than 3 inches to look half-good. But then again, I live in the continent where dropping cars over as low and wide as possible wheels is the ONLY way to do it right.

I use 215/45/17. It looks perfect! and it made my car look dropped, which actually not.

I think it probably raised your car ground clearance while reduce fender gap. Do you have any rubbing issues with the fender when you turn hard on corners?

No rubbing at all! btw, i'm wondering if using bigger tires than stock have any impact on speed?

well if you have smaller wheels the throw on bigger tires, that my plan when I get some new 16's in the spring, throw some 225/50/16 on there.

Nah, tires should be as slim as possible IMO. My next wheel dimension would probably be something like 8 or 8.5*15 10-offset with 205/45-15 tires. They would be a little lower/shorter than stock, but I'll make up for it by more lowering, hopefully close to 3.5-4 inches on DropZone coilovers.

small rims (14) and big tires... i dont like it as much as swole-azz rims on skinnies.

im a lil late to this thread but anyway. You cannot put a 225 width tires on our cars without having an offset of 45mm and greater. Fender modifications are required and without much power, its not worth it. There are tons of 205 tires with great selection and for a moderately tuned car, it should be alright. like they said, 225/50/17 is toooo big 225/40/17 is big too, but the speedo is a lil off so u wont mind. With bigger tires and rim u do get a lot more sprung weight since the rims are heavy. Unless u wanna get lightweight rims, which i dont think its possible to buy cheap 15lbs 17 X 7.5 ( to fit the 225). so stick with 205s.
