I traded my 16" for some 17" rims [Archive] - ClubHONDA.com Message Forums

I finally got some 17". A friend of mine had some 17" sitting in his garage and I asked if we could trade with my 16". Mine look nice but the rear rims have an offset, too big for my crx and too big of lips. The 17"have about 50% tread left so I got them with 200 euros on top of it, considering the 16" I had are really expensive. I will take some pics tomorrow when its light again and post some on here. It just looks much better now!

hehe....the camber is all on you my friend....you can buy the kits,they're not too much money.
As of right now this is how the car is coming.I put togehter a real nice head package,it will have two newer tires on the front(I gotta buy tires now,so they will be a lil used,but I'm gonna raise it up so the camber aint so bad,and it doesnt kill the tires)I'm putting in the clutch this weekend,along with wheel-bearings and brakes, and changing the oil. I should have a ll the pieces to a Nitrous kit laying around the warehouse somewhere,so it should be sprayin too.
And MAYBE,just MAYBE it'll have a carbon hood.And of course he gets it a special "ClubHONDA" price......LOL

The goal is mid 14's on the single cam motor,and high 13's on spray.If I can do that I will be happy. :p

Guys, Im having some problems with my 17" in the back. When 2 people are in the car, the back tires tend to rub in corners and bumbs. It is getting anoying. I think the rims are 7.5, and tires are 205/40/17. What can I do to prevent this? It sucks and I need to fix that soon. Any help would be apreciated! :(

I think once you get the new suspension in there it'll probably cure it.I know when I had the 17's I had the Ground Control's almost all the way down in the back and they never rubbed,the front did a lil but never the back.

Well, the front is even lower than the back and I have no problem with it whatsoever. The back is higher and it rubs. Cant wait to get the new shocks and coilovers. I hope that will fix the problem!
