I'm running 225x40x17 front and 255x40x17 rear. I'm lowered about an inch. I had 1 slight rub turning into a street with a dip. The 225/40-17 bulges slightly on the narrow front wheel. Next time I think I'll go 215 in the front. The 255/40-17 is OEM on the CR, so I have no issue running it. It fits the wheel nice.

Same here, and I should add Fasting_Jeff, myself, and Cone_Mark are all running the same Honda OEM AP2 V3 wheels and Crazy_Marc is running the OEM AP2 V2, or is it V1 wheels, not sure, but for sure the Honda OEM 17's.

I could have gone with the wider fronts, but elected not to as I've always had quite a stagger in sizes and my suspension settings seems to work really well with it.

In addition I'm also lowered just like Cone_Mark, same springs and sway bars and I have never experienced a rub.
