Tires Rubbing - 5/24/2005 3:53:34 PM    Gummi_67   Posts: 23 Joined: 5/24/2005 Status: offline Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie. I just got a 2004 Accord EX V6 Coupe. I'm upsizing from my stock 205/60/16s and after using the tire calculator have determined that 225/50 R 17 would be the best size. However, I can get a great deal on 235/50 R 17.... my question is - will tires that wide (235s) rub or cause any problems on this car without lowering or doing any suspension work???? Any helpmis appreciated. Post #: 1

Not a big deal if your not a speed demon. I'd go with the correct size personally...only because no one can guarantee that it will or won't all cars are different. Two of the same models with the same wheels may have different problems with rubbing. _____________________________ The car is looking for a turbine... (in reply to Gummi_67) Post #: 2

I'm getting Hankook Hankook Ventus HRII H405 Tires. Anyone have experience with them? For what I'm doing they should be more than fine. They're here if you wanna see them: http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Hankook&tiremodel=Ventus+HRII+H405 (in reply to Gummi_67) Post #: 4
