If you roll fenders and do a rear tab relocation, then yes. I wouldnt do a 255 tho, id do 245 to be safe

Are you lowered? Offset is what gets you.

The tires are going to rub the fenders over big bumps. You'll need to roll the inner lip of the fenders for additional clearance. That said, since you're at stock height, it won't be critical that you get this done immediately.

Why not, but i think the "CA" on your profil means that you come from california, isn't it? And me, I come from France so it will be difficult....

Im so disapointed, BBS LM gold are so beautiful wheels and i think they should be so nice on BMC.

So is everybody agree?

front 17*8 245/40 17 ET 45 will be ok for a Honda with oem springs
rear 17*9 225/45 17 ET 42 wont be ok for a Honda with oem springs, beacause it needs et 45/48.

Indeed, i dont want to roll my fenders.

Somebody can confirm please?
