    Is that OK to run 7.5?

    Hey guys, is that ok to run 17x7.5 instead of regular 17x7 ? am asking this question, because I just got 17 for dirt cheap and they are 17x7.5 I already know that 205 is gonna go on it.

    roll the fenders just to be safe and then you can get wider tires

    Or get rims for a newer accord (which don't fit our 4x100) and buy spacers to add on your car and it'll push the tires out further, like I did.

    with the 205 tires you should be safe and if they rub it's not that hard to roll the fenders.
