Ok did u have any problems with rubbing or speedometer problems??
My g/fs dad thinks that i will have so many problems with the tires rubbing, and the speedometer being off and I go look....2 of my friends have CRXs with 17s on them. they have no problems with rubbing or anything and of course they dont believe me lol. So i just wanted to know....Thanks alot guys

The speedo diff will all be in the size tires you decide to run. Use this and it will definitely help you find a set that will get your speedo right on.

For instance, on my transmission the stock tires were 195/55/15. Say I wanted to move up to a 17" rim. I would have to run a 205/40/17 and it would be .1% off of actual speed, which is miniscule and would NEVER be noticed. Its the final outer tire Diameter that will throw off your speedo, not the size rim.
