so i have an 89 accord and i just bought some 17 in rims to put on it, but as soon as i went to put them on, i realized the upper control arm is in the way.
is there a away to solve this issue or do i just need to go back to smaller tires?

what offset are they? You might be able to get away with using wheel spacers
I think your rims are the wrong offset if I'm reading correctly. there are some stickies on the top of the page should tell you what offset is correct. I think its is +35 mm.
You wont find any 17" tires that are stock or really even close to stock overall size because I have been looking for 10 years. Close is atleast one inch oversized.

from the online tire size calculator
The reason your rubbing is cause your new tires are almost 1.60 inches taller. I think your prolly gunna have to get new tires and recoup your losses by selling the current tires on ebay.
