going a little wider - 11/11/2006 3:03:18 AM    kaika   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/11/2006 Status: offline Hi, I just got an '06 Accord LX. I'd like to get some wheels and go a little wider on the tires. Currently, its 205/65r15, I think. I'd like to go to 215s on 16 or 17s. Does anyone think I should go a little taller, too, to fill-up the wheel wells? If so, how much? Thanks Post #: 1

I have seen and spoken to a guy running 215/40/17s and he said he has only rubbed a few times. Knowing that, I wish I would have gone with 215s. However, now that I have the 17s I wish I would have gone with 18s. Just that one inch is an amazing amount. With 18s you would expect to run 205/40/18s maybe even 205/35/18's. _____________________________ 1994 White EX 4door 5sp mt Matrix CAI cheapo exhaust Tein S.
