URGENT Wheel/Tire Question! - Honda Prelude Forum

hnguy4 · 06-22-2009, 05:38 PM

Hey guys, before you bite my head off and tell me to search, please know that I tried! I checked out the wheel/tire fitment guide and searched for the sizes but haven't really found anything.

What I wanna know is has anyone run a 17x7 wheel setup with 225/45/17 tires or would anyone know if this would be okay? I purchased some 17x7 Borbet Type FS rims to put on my 5th gen and have found some good 225/45/17 tires for a steal that I'd like to mount them on. Does anyone know if there would be any issues running this setup with rubbing the fenders/suspension and whatnot? If anyone can help me out ASAP it'd be much appreciated! Thanks!

p.s. tires are Fierce HP's made by Goodyear. anyone hear about these or have any experience with them?

215/40/17 - Larger Contact Patch, Recommended 17â€? Size Tire
215/45/17 - Larger Contact Patch, Overall Diameter is Larger
225/40/17 - Even Larger Contact Patch, Very Limited Selection of Brands

You know you could have just inputted the actual size of the wheel in a tire calculator and compared it with how big it would have been compared to the recommended sizes.

It will probably fit though (esp. if you're stock height). You should probably list the offset too.

the offset on the rims is 45mm..should be okay on stock height right? in the future i only plan on dropping 1.5-1.7 anyhow
