Default Help With New Tires / Rims

I was thinking about making the change from my factory rims / tires to 17" rims and tires.

I was wondering, would this cause any rubbing?

And whats the cheapest site I can get some good quality rims and tires.

www.tires.com

Seems to be a good one. Found a good package of 17" rims and tires for around $800-850. And I am not willing to spend more than that. Because honestly after I get them I then I have to save up for a WW bodykit.

Post pictures of the actual rims, and give the tire dimensions. Anything wider than 225 might cause problems, and 17" is a good size.

You won't rub, no. Have any pics of the wheels?

Theyre the Rage Breaker wheels from www.tires.com. It only takes a second to check them out if you want to go there and look.. I am going to see if this works though.

Thanks man, yeah theyre pretty nice if you ask me. Nothing too flashy or anything like that. I like to keep the conservative look of the Accord sedan.

Would 16s look a lot worse than 17s? I dont want my car to look raised up. I saw an Accord with 18s and since I am not lowering my car the gap between the car and the tires looked retarded. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Also, would 17" rims on 16" tires look stupid? I mean I am stupid when it comes to rims and all this, HELP!
