17" Drag DR-8 rims

Can anyone tell me if these wheels will fit. The measurements are 17X7 4-100/114 40GMM with tires 205/40HR17. I am not lowering my car. I just want to make sure they don't rub. Here are the pics

I have those same measurements on my R1 Racing Milano wheels, using Nitto Neo Gen's, on stock suspension. they rubbed on high speed dips, but once I grinded part of the rear bumper mount inside the wheelwell, it eliminated a lot of the rubbing. I would still get some rubbing on the rear fender lip, but only on real high speed dips, very minor and rare (however, I haven't had any rear passengers in my car yet, so I don't know if it'll rub once weighted). I'm also considering having my rear fenders rolled to help eliminate the problem altogether.

if you haven't ordered the tires yet, I think that going 195/45/17 instead of 205's is a better choice to avoid rubbing. also, check Rims, custom rims, chrome rims, chrome wheels, aftermarket wheels, car rims, and check on their size comparer chart at the bottom of their webpage. hope this helps.

Thanks! Would you happen to know what size tires Honda uses when they install the OEM optional 16" rims (HFP) on the fit? I would like to have 17's on my car but I just don't want to deal with have to take the chance of it rubbing.

I believe they are 205/45/16's on the HFP rims. If you really want to go with 17's, try to find wheels that have at least a 43-45 offset on a 17x7's. same with 16x7's. If you do 17x7, 43-45 offset, with 195/40/17 tires, I'm almost positive there wouldn't be any rubbing issues even if you lower the car. heck, with that offset, you may even get away with 205's! good luck!
