Wheel and tire package Q's

[TheSnigg]

I'm in the process of finishing up a 5 lug conversion, with 97 odyssey knuckles and 98 prelude rear hubs. With that said I am in the market for some new wheels.

I want a more aggressive figment and then I will adjust to the final ride height. For fitment I'm thinking the following:

Wheel: 17x8+35
Tire: 225/45r17

What are y'alls thoughts Any problems with this set up? (I'm currently stock all around).

Will I have to pull/roll? If so about how much? (I'm not opposed to it).

If I do pull/roll would I cut out the "HondaRust" (r.qr panel) and weld before or after the pull? I know the bodywork/bonds will have to come after.

And feed back would go along way!! Thanks

I love some of the XXR wheels I've seen

[TheSnigg]

Which ones. I am digging the konig 2017 line up. Lite and strong!

I like the Maxxim Winner, they are also pretty light.

The picture in my sig, i was running 225/40r18 Cooper Zeon ZPT on Motegi DP6; 4 lug but i didnt have any issues even when i was slammed.

225/40/17 would probably be a better tire size than 225/45/17.
225/40/18 must have thrown your speedometer off by a bit! That's 3.6% greater diameter than stock.

It did, acceleration suffered also but i used to drive like a maniac either way . Actually come to think of it i also used 225/45r17 on the Accord as well as 215/50r16, no issues with either one of them. You should also look at 215/45r17, fits wheel width in 7-8 inch range and are cheaper while offering a greater variety.

I wanted to run 225/40/17 but I'm having he hardest time finding some good tires. It's going to be a non winter car. And I have a DD.

I want to run Firestone fire hawk Indy 500 tires (had great reviews on 1010tires).

But if any one has any better ideas I'm open!

Ok good to know. I was worried about stretching the tires. I saw some 205s I think on a 8". Looked SUPER stretched.

I've ran 17x8 +35 on my CD. with 215/45/17s. On a CB, it won't sit quite so sunk, since the CD has wider fenders. It fits way better on a CB in my opinion. I'd definitely roll the fenders, at leas the fronts to be safe. You don't want the fender guard tabs to catch the tire and destroy the whole fender.


Also: 225/40/17 is a unicorn size. Just one size no one really makes. There are a few that do, but they aren't good performance tires.

I had some 215/45/17s that I was going to run on my CB, but they never made it on the car. I ran them on my Fit, though. On my 17x7.5 +38 wheels, they were perfect. Beefy, without having too much sidewall flex (I forget what model they were, but they were Dunlop performance summer tires.)

Niccce!! This is what I needed!! I appreciate the info! Now time to find some tires!

PC calipers next!!

I am running 215/45/17s right now.
I believe it works out to be the exact same diameter as a stock size tire on steelies. When I compared them at least
