17x8 Wheels on CD5 Accord

[Samunseen]

Just wondering if anyone on here has got 17x8 wheels on their accord? I know im okay with putting 17s on, but its the 8 inch width that worries me, has anyone done it? Does it scrub or bottom out? Im lowered on BC coils and wondering if I will need a camber kit to pull this off.

PS, i have offset options of +35 +25 or +15

[Jccck]

I know of a bunch of CD5's with 17x8s, and width is not a problem.
Cannot confirm if +35 will rub on the F+R Knuckles/Rear Trailing Arm.

I have 17x9 +25's w/ 235/40R17's on my CB7 Accord (Yeah i know right? o.O)

1010Tyres have an Offset Calculator, you can Google to find it.
Best bet is to check your current clearances between Inner Guard/Knuckle/Rear Trailing Arm.
Then work out how much offset your current rims have.
And using the 1010Tyres Calcualtor you can see how much extra room you'll need on the inside and out for the 17x8's.
Then you can make the decision on offset!

Good luck!

17 by 8 with any of thoe offsets are fine!

+35 and +25 are easy fit with 215/45 or even 225/45 with just guard roll

+15 you'll need to run 215/45 and slight camber adjustment just to be safe


ive had 17x8 +35 on 215 45 not long ago

heres how itt look

That looks fat as man, I threw my mates works on my car today, 8.5 on the front with +37 and it was fine, Im considering putting +35 on the front and + 25 on the rear now.

Bc Coilovers, No camber adjustment, guards rolled front and rear, rears pulled about a 3cms to fit the 9s with that tire..

Had 17x8 +35 works on it with 205/40s and fitted no problem with coils wound right down.

That looks so sick, My only problem is, my step dad is highway patrol, and NSW law wont let me have my wheels sticking out of the guards. So by extension, my Step dad wont let me leave the drive way with a car he can defect.

thats no fun!!


its should be the other way around lol like his gonna be ur immunity :P

[Samunseen]

Hahah unfortunately not. Hes already let me off once for going 10 over in a school zone. He wont let me push my luck with defects. He already hates me going out at the moment with my Cold air intake done. Plus its too low, the exhaust sits 70 mm off the ground.

damn.. welll i guess your still lucky then...

[Samunseen]

Decided to go with 17x8 with +25.. Hopefully will have them fitted by thursday. Then ill see if my guards need flaring.

[Samunseen]

They didnt have any stock of the +25s.. Went with +35s. $830 bucks all up. Fitting them with Kumhos on thursday running 215/45 R17

[sugz]

You won't need any flaring for that size and offset

[Samunseen]

So ive been told. I might need to raise the car a bit though. She already sits too low. And the rolling diameter will be smaller than my current wheels.

Then choose different size tyres.. +/-15mm is legal in NSW, but you'd be best of sitting at the high end of that scale.

Im going with kumho 215/45/r17
it should be fairly reasonable in height. If not i'll either raise the height a bit, or tuck the exhaust up. The body sits fine, its just the exhaust near the muffler hangs down a bit.

[Samunseen]

Jcck, where are you from btw.. There has been a nice CB7 turbo driving around Newcastle lately.

[namtaro]

you should have went 225/45 =P meaty and it looks and fits fine... a shown in my first pic in my previous post

Oh i thought that would have been almost standard?

I live near Newcastle, I don't know of any other CB7 Turbo's in Australia, so it's either me.. Or i'd like to get to know them! =P
Mine is White, with Black Rims+Numberplates and a big white "T" sticker on the rear window.

Does it have a nice front mount hanging from the bumper? It was a month or two ago now that I saw it.. Possibly longer.

Yep, filthy big Front Mount.. And you can see the polished Aluminium Pipes each side.
Also, Black upper Grille.
But we're getting off topic.. PM me if you need.
