Yeah, you can run it with a roll and pull, but I wouldn't suggest Rota Grids. Just my suggestion. Do some research on the before you purchase the.


Why not rota grids? What's wrong with them?

Alright so I want to get a set of XXR 527 17x8.25 +25 for my Accord. I can't afford coilovers to lower the car enough for fitment so instead I was going to get TEIN S. Techs. Will these fit with the springs? And will I have to roll any fenders?

Will a 17x7.5 rim wearing 225/45 rubber fit fine on my stock suspension 2001 coupe?

If so, what offset should I be looking for?

Thanks!

225 for a 7.5in wheel is a little wide I think. Go to tirerack.com or something and when you pick a wheel (17x7.5) it will give you a recommended tire size. 205/50r17 to be exact.

If you are V6 (205/60/16) the correct tire specs would be 215/50/17. I had 17x7 with 215/50's on stock suspension at first, there are pics in my ride thread. For stock height it didn't look horrible.

Either way it won't rub.

@RedRyder, I'm kind of looking for the same thing as well. I'm looking for a good tire to fit XXR 535 17x7 +35. I know tirerack has suggested tire sizes for non-XXR rims and that is I think 205/50(or 55)r17. What do you think?

I'm looking into some XXR 521 18x8.5 but idk to get +25 or +35. I'm on H&R springs (2.2"F 1.75"R drop). Getting 225/45/18 to eliminate any wheel gap?

If you want the wheels come out more get +25, but really it's only 10 mm difference, they both will fit. Buy the tires after you get the wheels so you can fit and see, if you had coilover it wouldn't matter since you can adjust hight

Go with 205/40r17 or 205/40r17 but id go with something wider than 7.
