Just signed up - 2nd gen and 1st mod (wheels)
So stopped by this morning while wheel/tire buying. I have done the impossible? I put 215/45/17's on. Don't see a problem. Looks sweet. Like the 17's...Posted pics in an album under my name.
Wasn't going to touch the thing (had since new), but now that I've started, down the rabbit hole I go.....:vtec: |
So how's your speedo with those tyres?

Speedo after 17" swap
Because lower profile tire on the new 17", may not be much of overall radius difference - I will chk this. For clearance, width is what matters so wasn't worried about the growth of radius (but, true, would effect speedo slightly...). I shall calculate overall % change with 17" and this profile tire compared to stock and repost.
|
Overall diameter (radius) change is almost imperceptible. So no effect on speedo. Speaking in terms of radius, gain a 1/2" from rim, lose 1/2" from tire.

perfect! I'm about to get some slipstreams
