Hello eveyone,

I have a 2003 Honda Accord LX and just installed set of 350z 17" wheels. Fronts are 7.5"with 225 width, rears are 8.5" with 235 width. The front & rear wheels stick out beyond the fenders about half an inch. Fronts and rears are rubbing on dips. Any suggestions of what to do and if so how much would it cost?

Thanks in advance.

 

Well everyone makes mistakes...

You generally don't want staggered wheels and tires on a FWD vehicle. The logical solution is that you need to sell them and get some different wheels.

The fact that you have 5 lugs gives you a ton of options for oem 17" wheels, previous gen Acura TL-S, optional gunmetal 5 spokes, etc. The offset will be perfect, no rubbing as long as you get an appropriate size tire.

 

Yeah a larger tire width in the back of a fwd car is going to give you horrible handling characteristics, namely much greater understeer.
