tires for 17" rims - 11/23/2004 7:42:48 AM    jtm224   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/21/2004 Status: offline I just bought a set of 17" rims for my 04 accord ex v6. They are the ones that come standard on the 6-speed manual v6. What would be good tires to get for the car and these rims? Post #: 1

Great tires at a great price.

These are great looking tires, good performance, quiet and....much less than Michelins or Yokohamas. (in reply to jtm224) Post #: 7

Its for the 2003 to 2005 and is that great looking 18 spoke standard wheel that is a stock wheel. Hope that helped you out...

To make your ride look right with this combo you gota slam your ride. Or else it will look funny with big o gap. Also depending on your off set 245/35/17 might be too wide, 215/40/17 will be same match far as the hight of the side wall. good luck. _____________________________ pntrpr (in reply to jtm224) Post #: 10
