November 4th, 2008 07:17 PM #1I'm planning to upgrade my wheels to 17 inch wheels. I own a 1996 Accord VTi. I want to ask the owners of similar accords what wheel size and offset they use and what tire size they recommend? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm planning to buy Rota for my ride.

November 5th, 2008 06:04 AM #3Thanks for the info V6!
Hmm... I thought my stock tire was a 195/60R 15? That was what was pasted on my door by honda. Will running a tire size of 215/45R 17 be okay? Will it cause some space issues in the wheel wells? Or should I stick to 205/50R 17 instead?

+40 close to perfect its going to be a 8mm less in the inside of the wheel to the strut housing and extend an extra 18mm on the outside edge of the wheel. This calculation is not an exact fitment you must ask your installer to mount the new wheel and see to it if rubbing is an issue before leaving the shop. Good luck.
Choice I would have made as well.:nod:
2024 Innova Zenix 2.0 V CVT (non-HEV) vs Innova...
