you probably have 15s if you have a 04-05 ex. No you wont need alignment with just new wheels. Is your question do wheels cost a lot of money? depends what you want but they could go up to over $1000 and even more. I got my 18s used with tires for $600 from this site.

jfan is an unknown quantity at this point
Putting on new wheels or tires costs nothing unless you want to get rid of the wheel gap, in which case lowering plus aligning can get expensive.

Let's see, lowering spring - around 200 for GOOD ones, and an alignment shouldn't cost you more then 90 bucks. Try finding brand new wheels and tires for 290 dollars

ahh ok, i kinda get what u guys r sayin.
with 17 inchers though, i shouldnt really have to do any adjusting should I?
I can just get them installed and drive?
Like basically, what im saying is...if i hit a bump lol(theres alot of them around here) will my tire rub up into my fender area?
