17 x 7.5 on 6th Gen Civic
Anyone run these and if so, what tire sizes are you running?
Any clearing or rub'n issues? I'm only dropped 1.6 all around... Pics would be great too!

Every 17x7.5" wheel I ran rubbed with 205/40x17" tires. It's just too wide and large for a Civic.

Any others? Recommended wheel sizes?
With such a long commute daily, have you considered a set of 16's instead? Not trying to sway you away from your choice, it's just that riding on a set of 17's for so long wouldn't be the most comfortable ride.
Yeah, I've considered 16s which I have no prob doing as long as I like em and they look good on my car. My prev car was a 5th Gen Accord and I have an IS now so I've never followed wheel details on Civics. 17s seem to be the avg (or at least used to be) size wheel so that's why I was aiming towards that size. I guess I could do more research too, :lol: But yeah, I've commuted w/17s before w/no problem so comfort isn't an issue. What do most people w/Civics run (wheel size wise)?
