Id say 215 to be safe. With a 225/235 u risk hitting ur shock or ur fuel lining. I was hitting mine with 17x9.5 +38

I'm running 215. Wish I was running 225 for the rear.

Hahaha You guys gave me two different answers.
Aries, I dont plan on slamming my car against the ground. Im just going to lower it enough to get rid of the wheel gap and tuck it in a little bit.
But the fronts are deffinately 215/45/17 right?

215/40

rear 215/40 or 225/40

45 profile esp on front = more scrub

Okay. Thanks. I think ill go 215 front and rear.
If my rims are
17x8+32
17x9+38
The bigger wheel (17x9+38) should go in the front right?
Cause fwd and for better grip?

Would be hard pressed to find decent tyres in 225/40r17 lol

Question: Having the brake pads replaced by Honda during my major service. I noticed that the brake squealing is still occuring, is this normal? Is there some sort of "break-in" sort of thing??

It happens occassionally, but I thought being new pads and all, shouldn't happen?

Advice..! ty.

I had that problem when i bought the Car brand new from Honda.
I went back to them and they couldnt find any problems so there was nothing they could do about it.

So i went to a Brake Specialist and got them to Change Pads to Bendix Pads and Machine the Disk.
Solved the problem straight away.

So try telling Honda machine the disk for you.

Yep that will fit 100% presumed your guards are rolled and if you don't mind running that stretch.
225 WILL fit in the rear as well but you may encounter some scrubbing

Johnny i assume your not too low right cause of the 45 profile? When I started going really low (<10cm) i'd scrub heaps on the 45s.

^ yea currently on 1.5" drop springs. might go lower profile later on due to some stuff coming in soon i hope :L
