I used this configuration, and I'm getting a bit of rubbing on the front tires with the plastic clip inside the upper side of the fender.

Also - my car is not lowered.

what is the difference b/t 205/45-17 and 225/45-17?

ok i've tried to make sense of this thread but i'm looking for an easy answer
I have a 06 EX sedan, stock ride hieght, no plans to drop it, will 18x7 with en ET42 work with 225/40/18s?
i cannot have any rubbing at all

no one knows?
can i assume that since a 17x7 with a 40et will work with proper tires that the 18x7 would then also work?
not one single 8th gen owner who has posted in this thread has posted an 18x7 rim so i'm looking for confirmation before i pull the trigger on this deal.
any input is much appreciated

Probably. That's the size of the HFP wheels.

I don't know that anyone's run tires that wide or an offset that low. It seems doubtful without some modification.

aki · 04-13-2007, 02:15 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you ok as long as the inner clearance (aka backspace) remains the same?

So a 8" width w/ 32mm offset would fit, as it has the same clearance (146mm) as a 7" width w/ a 45mm offset.

Wondering because if I get different rims I'd want a deeper rim look (aka BMW M3).

i have 17x7.5 w/40offset and other than the camber in the rear it works.just thought i would add to te list.i am dropped1.5,i believe,and the only rub i have is if i bottom out. it rubs a little in one spot but doesn't look like it will rub forever just the first couple of times

COMplex · 04-14-2007, 05:01 PM

I want to see some lower offsets...

esx005 · 04-14-2007, 05:15 PM

COMplex · 04-14-2007, 05:25 PM

2nd page

PCD 100-120 - i fully appreciate that we're 114.3 - so whats up with these wheels - is it that one set of 5 holes fit 100, the other 5 fit 120 - meaning htat they won't work for my car?

thanks in advnace

***Tim*** · 04-14-2007, 09:34 PM

You're right. Those are made for other cars. Won't fit.

***Sirbelch*** · 04-14-2007, 09:42 PM

I got 17x8 +45 offset with a 235/40/17 tire and its lowered 1.75in ish on my Si and i and i have no problems. I still have about and inch of space between the top the the tire and the edge of the fender.
