205/60/16 to 215/45/17
 

I'm planning to get new wheels and tires, wondering the overall diameter difference of 215/45/17 and 205/60/16 which is 4% would cause any problem with the ABS or any other prob besides off speedometer. From the website that I calculated, it warned me of braking failure and those stuff. any idea?

you mean changing just the tires? you can't put a 17" tire on a 16" rim

if you mean rims and tires, if u calculate 4% difference it's not "too much" as long as you're okay with your speedometer being off, what's more important is the offset of the new wheels vs. old wheels (most likely +55 for a honda)

yeah, wheels and rims. regarding the offset, I'm thinking to put a spacer. is it safe to use spacer?

You can use 5mm spacer, anything higher you're gonna need extended studs

any idea on where to get that locally and how much?

YOU CANT PUT 17" TIRE ON A 16" RIM.....

jigga wat

hes asking about overall diameter of 2 different sizes. Should be ok other then possible slight speedo difference.

read ppl read! he is planning on getting NEW WHEELS AND TIRES. there are 2 things there, NEW WHEELS and NEW TIRES. so he is most likely getting a 17" rim on a 17" tire!

he is asking if going from a 205/60R16 to a 215/45/R17 is right.

the correct sizing for your 17in rim would be 215/50R17. 215/45 is a tad too small
