17 x 7.5 Volk Gram Lights with tires

hey guys, need your help with the tire size on these rims. i'm thinking about buying these for 800 bucks (wheels & tires) but the tire size are 235/45-17. i just bought some eibach sportline springs and was wondering if they are going to rub with that tire size. oh yeah, i have a 2006 honda civic ex coupe.

info on the wheels

Gram Lights 57c Rays Volk Gram Lights 57c, 17x7.5, 5x114.3, gold with tires

17x7.5
+40mm offset

5-114.3 bolt pattern
17.5 lbs lightweight

Kumho Ecsta SPT
235/45-17
Ultra High Performance Summer

if the tires size are too big, what size do you recommend with the sportline springs that won't rub?

It will look great, and for the price you can powder coat them.

only thing that makes it a close fit is the size of the tires. but it should work i got xd9's in 17x7.5" with 225 tires and no rubbing whatsoever.

cool. i'm surprised nobody actually met up with the guy to buy them. he said a few was interested in it but never showed up. i just better not get jacked that's for sure! got my pepper spray in case. haha. (i'm a meter reader so that explains the pepper spray.) will be checking it out after work tomorrow. hope he's legit.
