Was going to get some Lenso RS5's off a mate he had on his Honda Civic Type R. There 17 inch tho my car hasn't been lowered at all should they be alright?

Thanks

When I say alright I mean will there be any scraping at all?

To fit 17" rims it is likely you will need to make arch modifications... regardless of whether it has been lowered...

It also depends what profile tyres you have on them... you will need 40 profile tyres...

If you lower it you will need to make further arch mods... if you don't lower it, it will look like a tractor

isnt hondas a 5 stud and wouldnt recomend it as it will be a differant offset ...

but doubt there would be any rubbing providing there on low profiles

Simple answer is you will not be able to fit them to your car. Wrong offset, wrong stud pattern, wrong pcd
