Question wheel and tire question

ok i have a EK sedan i lowered 4in.. the stock tires dont rub at at any point... im worried if i go with a 17x7 rim with low pro tires it will rub horribly... has any1 tried 17x7's on a 4in drop?? also what about 16 with low pro tires?

17 is huge, regardless, imo
i would assume the 17's have a different offset which is what would give you fitment issues. id say stick to a 16 in wheel.

lol i personally wouldnt go larger than a 16" rim for Honda's. (unless s2k)

And with a 4 inch drop, even with a 16" rim you better be getting at least 35 profile tires

To each their own...I chose to raise my car when I bought it from the original owner.
