They will fit just fine, no problems with my 15" blades, and im dropped reasonably low.

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

like me n Frodo said..no problems with rubbing..and any diff with the speedo wouldnt be too noticeable..if not at all. i did juss tell u my car was tucked and when i say tucked i had about 2 inches clearance from oil pan to the ground..no rubbing dude.

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.
