i have a set of 17" rims, no tires on it and been collecting dust. came off my old car. planning to put it on my EK hatch. what size tires will make them fit good on my hatch? or will it just scrape my fenders? i dont want to waste money on tires, and find out that theyre too big. let me know so i can make up my mind about getting tires or just sell them. by the way. my rims are still clean, 17" white Nippon mongoose.

 

A: 17 is too big, it will ride like shit B: white rims...eek C: Nippon eek

 

personal experience? or are you just saying theyre too big?

rims look fine to me, aint nothing wrong with white rims. my car is white by the way. and nippon is just the same quality as rotas or drags. theyre all cheap hahaa. so brand doesnt really matter here.

 

yes experience, 17's ride like garbage.

 

It's true.

I had white 17's on my last civic (white as well) and between cleaning it all the time and the ride quality it was a pain.

 

what yr was your civic? it doesnt matter on how it rides. i just need to know if it fits. so what size tires did you have on them?

 

How wide are the rims? 17x?

We need to know that to give you an answer on the tire size.

 

17x7...thanks

 

honestly they are too big. you won't be able to have you car lowered without rubbing even with the right tires. you could try rolling the fenders but the car will ride like crap.

 

You could go 205-40-17 or 205-45-17 if you're not lowering. Honestly I'd go 205-45-16.
