I drive an 03' SE I4 W/Eibach springs/KYB GR-2s. Daily driven and driven hard!

I have looked and search and search to no end. Does anyone have first hand exp. on this wheel and tire combo? Will they rub? Steering problems?

Rim - Speedy Lite Fin - 17 X 7.5 +45 offset

Tire size - 235/45/17

Thank you all!!!

You can go 18's no problem with a drop. NO problem with rubbing what so ever.
235/45/18's too!!

i didn't know KYB made shocks for Gen 5's! how's the ride?

mM i'd go with 225/45/17 <~ thats just my opinion though cuz with the 17x7.5 you'll have enough sidewall with 225. it should fit fine but the 17's might look small on your car.

KYB's GR-2 is $131 (CAN) for rear $115 for front each, and they ride a little soft but still better than OEM.

As for Rims, the reason I'm going with 17" is that the roads in Canada are vary bad. Pot holes like mine fields!!! And my GenV is no lite weight, so a little more side wall and load rating on the tires will be better for my driving style...can't afford new rims every month.
