i wanted to know how many people switched to 225/45/17 on the stock wheels and how they like them?


thanks

 

+1

and I loved it. handled better, smoother ride...

 

i have the enkei 18 inch that come with the rs 1.0 and i would recomend 225/40/17, even though mine are 225/40/18 the tires you would need if you want alot of grip get the kdw2 it looks like a snake skin i have those i had yokohoma avs db 100 and those would spin without alot of gas these i have to actually put some gas pedal on it

 

i would never get 40's the ride is a lot rougher and they suck to put on, i know which tires im gettin already BFGoodrich G-Force sport i have them on my accord and the grab like a champ

 

yeah, dont listen to him. Get w/e tire brand you want in a 225/45/17. It will be a much smoother and the handling will be better.

 

if you change the tire size, even just a bit, then wont your speedometer reading be incorrect?

 

not if you only change the width, if you change the height you will affect speedo reading

 

not to mention TOYOTA offers 18" trd wheels which do not affect speedo

 

I have kumba ecsta 711's, they were $52 each on tirerack.. They hook up pretty good in the wet & dry weather and they have a great tread wear.

Definately not the best tire, but it was the cheapest price wise.

 

Increasing the width and keeping the same aspect ratio (such as when both are 45 series) results in additional height. Going from 215/45 to 225/45 won't make too much difference, but the latter is definitely taller.

Couldn't tell from your post exactly what you were implying, so I just wanted to provide some clarification, in case anyone got confused by your statement.

 

so the bottom line is that 225/45s fit well on the stock rims?

 

yes PERIOD
