    Default 17's Experiment



    They looked really good but they are hard as hell to turn under 20mph. If i ever wanted to lower it i couldn't with 17's lol. Almost scrubs.

    Liar. Granted I have a hatch...it's not far off from the sedan. I had 17's. Sold them to Joey. But I was sittin' about 2inch drop in the front, and about 2.5 in the rear. I rolled the lips under in the back, and the front just barely scraped when there was excess weight on that wheel. Skunk2's/KYB AGX FTW. If you like the look and can deal with the turning (easily done by gaining muscle...) I'd go for it.

    Man it looks good with those wheels. I had a hatch that was dumped with 17's and they just barely rubbed. Also, is your 4dr an dx or lx. You can find an lx at a junkyard and just add power steering.

    i personally think 17's are overkill BUT its not my car and if YOU like it, thats what matters since YOU are the one having to drive it

    All the JDM folks doubt my 17s for being heavy, too big etc but I still do damage on HWY pulls!! Your MPH will be higher & since all the weight is already moving it seems quicker at rolling speeds

    There's nothing wrong with 17's. Since everyone is on this JDM/Sleeper/Race look people riding on 17's get dissed. If you wanna rock 17's do it!

    I like 'em...I say go for 'em. The only reason I switched to the 15's is cuz I needed something less weight, and wanted somethin' a LITTLE more comfortable...and I got a good deal. I was shooting for 16's, but the deal on the 15's was unbeatable.

    LOL at all you people. I had 17s on my CRX and was tucking tire in the back, WITH camber kits and WITHOUT rolling the lip on the rear. You people need to learn offsets.
