I'm in the process of getting some 2004 Acura TL's 17"

My question is will my stock tires be ok?They are 215/50/17..I just really want to make sure before I spend the money on them.I don't know that much about this sort of stuff as you can see :D


Thanks for all the help

not really. unless you are comfortable stretching a tire meant for a 7inch rim, onto a 8 inch wide rim.
the recommended width is a 235 width tire.

Just sell your stock tires and get some new tires from www.tirerack.com They have decent prices there and they will drop them off right at your house....If the Accord is your only car, make sure you sell the stock tires and wheels after you mount the new ones :lmao:

is there a benefit to the 245 vs the 235?
