    17/40/215 any hope to fit?

    Hi guys. My english sucks so i cut the crab and here's the Q: Is there any change that 17" 7,5" (offset 35) rims and 215/40 tyres would fit in 3g? I have lowered car about 1,75". I tried search on the forum but i didn't find direct answer. But i'm afraid that those rims won't fit
    New ride Accord HB Lx-i, only one in whole finland
    But i still love Aerodeck's also <3

    I use to run 215/40/17's on 17X7.5 @40mm offset with very minimal rubbing. I fixed by rolling the rear lips completely up and setting my rear camber to -1.0 degrees of camber.

    your offsets a little greater but I say doable with minimal rubbing in rear and maybe front tires might rub te inner fender when turned all the way.

    Sure they will fit as long as your car is not lowered too low. I know you can fit some 18's on a accord no problem as long as its not lowered too much. Is your car at stock ride height?

    I think you should be fine cause I'm riding on 205/40/17 with a 2.25 inch drop. I would recommend getting new struts though cause I know it will scrub when you hit bumps cause the stock shocks you have are probably worn out.

    yeah....1.5 inch is ok....lots of people run that with 17 inch rims. and yeah get new shocks....tokicos are the best we can get unless you go the legend master route.

    If you're not going to roll or cut your rear fender lip they are going to rub.
