not a pro, but i think its the offsets

 

You are being told they won't fit because they won't fit. 9.5" rim with that offset will actually stick out of the fender. It's possible you may get away with running a more narrow wheel/tire combo but it certainly wouldn't be optimal.

Don't do it.

 

FN-01R 5zigen
1 piece forged super light weight wheel geared towards maximizing race performance. Its light weight feature allows faster pick up and shortens response time. You can sure feel the 'kick-n-go'.

what is the widest 17inch wheel i can go here?

 

You could probably get away with a non-staggered setup with the 17x7.5 +45 but I'd be willing to bet the handling would be iffy at best. I say that because you would be removing the width differential (aka stagger) Honda built in from front to rear.

Perfect for a drift car - not so great for overall performance.

 

does this combo work?
(2) 17x8 +30 +40 5 114.3
(2) 17x9 +15 +38 5 114.3

(2) 225/45/17)
(2) 245/45/17)

 

What lig said.

That, and, your not going to get wheels AND tires for $1500 unlees you buy a used setup.

 

FWIW, if you don't stagger, it won't feel any different than your current setup.
