if you get a thicker sidewall, it will throw your speedometer off by XX% depending on the tire specs. 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 fit.
ive got the HFP 17 inchers and i need some new tires. I'm unhappy with the harshness on bumps and i wanted to get some 205/55/16 like stock and remove the front sway bar or something, but i dont have the money to blow on wheels and tires right now.
so basically whats the thickest sidewall i can fit Without changes in functionality. i dont want any rubbing when i make a U turn etc.
P.S.
ive got 215/45/17
1" HFP drop

Interested as well, I also need to new tires for my 17" and have the mugen ss suspension.
I am leaning on 225/45/17.
stay with 215/45/17.........
I agree. Get the 225/45/17 if you don't mind a little rub.Originally Posted by CivicS
I have HFP Wheels and Suspension with 225/45/17 Falkens. Nothing is wrong with the ride.
i've seen a couple hatchers running 215/50/17s and it looked really good. Bit more tire to help cushion out the ride
I concur
225/45/17 up front and 215/45/17 in the rear is my current set up. Depends how low in the rear you are and how much negative camber you have in the back.
Do you mind posting a pic so I can see how this looks?
Having different size tires front and rear, will affect how the ABS works.
Just run 225-45-17's. That is what I am riding on.

What size did Honda pu on the EP-HFP wheels from the factory?
215-45-17, so the 225's will gain you some more contact patch, thusly a higher sidewall than the 215's as well. Better ride IMHO.
