wheel fitment for 2003 Accord V6
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows if a 235/45/17 tire on a 17x7.5 rims will fit the 7th gen Accord V6 with no adjusment to the suspension geometry? It doesn't seem like there is much room for larger tires and I want to make sure nothing will scrub if I went this route.
Thanks for any info in advance.

Your right there isn't much room for larger/wider tires. If your concerned about tire rub, stick with a 215/50-17 on 17X7.5 rim for the 03 models. Everyone has there own opinion though! I would stay on the safe side.
You could check out the upgrade garage at tirerack.com! Hope I helped.
