Buying 17's

[DamienS]

what do you guys think of the stock 17s from the sport version. worth getting those?

I think they look nice but I would hate to think how much Honda are charging for them

Do you find your speed is out much cos of the 215/45 profile. I was told that the correct same size from 15's to 17's was a 225/45/17...or did you come from 16's originally?

um no .....i dun think its out....the current sport model runs on 17" on 215/45/17. it make sense to follow that and even if its out ...it would be very marginal...

yeah it would only be millimetres so no need to worry I guess, you get more difference than that as the tyres wear down.

my speedo is a little bit off and hence i cant wait to replace the tyres :P

215/40/r17

as for whether 224/45/r17 will scrub, i believe it wont

mine is lowered on coilovers and i have decent clearance on full lock either way so you should be fine if your car is stock height

wow 215/40's

that would make a difference, so your speedo must be reading faster than you are actually going. as due to the smaller circumference the wheel would travel less distance in one rotation.

yup lol its annoying when people drive next to you and see my speedo and then immediately look at theirs to see if they are speeding lol

but meh i need to change tyres soon anyway :P

t1rs coming soon
