here's a picture.. except it's in white.

thanks for the input on the tires.. What about Yokohama Paradas?.. i heard they were alright.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by smoothludey:
That order sucks...
1. 40mm offset for 17x7 rims will rub even at stock height.
2. 215/45/17 is larger than stock specs, giving you worse performance as well as a messed up odo/speedo. 251/40/17 is the correct size.
3. Yokohama H4s are inferior to your stock potenzas.
It looks like you are going all looks and no function here...I will guarantee you will regret this setup.</font>
Smoothludey: Plenty of people on this board and others run lowered 1.5"+ with +40mm offset on 7" wide rims with no rubbing. A +40mm offset on 7" wide rims will give the same effective outer wheel edge position as +45mm offset on 7.5" rims. You have +45 and 7.5" wide. I think you would not be rubbing if you had narrower 215 instead of 225 series rubber...<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by smoothludey:

Take it from me, I just had some ADR GT Sport 17x7" +40 offset, with Falken 215/45/zr17 tires on my Prelude. There is a TINY place that rubs in the rear fender well, that can be removed with a dremel, x-acto knife or file and then there was NO RUBBING at all. This was stock suspension too.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by bronx99:

and about 17x7 rubbin at stock height with 40mm offset.. someone told me it's the equivalent as 17x7.5 with 44mm offset.. I've had ppl tell me it rubs and other ppl tell me it doesn't, so who knows.</font>![]()
