205/45/17 look good on a LOWERED accord, Stock height Id say 205/55/17. get the 45 and lower that somebiatch

I would say 215/45 , but if you lower it I would go with 40's.

get the size that is closest to oem size in OD, then lower your car to get rid of gap.

205/40/17 tires are the most popular for 17" wheels for a setup like yours + it's a more common size so it should be less expensive then the sizes posted above me.

get 215/45's I had them on my civic. It filled up the wheel wells nicely. And it will give you ok wheel protection.
