My friend is looking to buy some 17" rims right now off craigslist for his 2001 Honda Civic EX and he was asking me if they would fit. I did some searching around and I couldn't find a real definite answer. Some say they will fit some say they will not so I am confused what is true. He is not lowered and does not plan on lowering. I asked him to see what the offset and wheel width is and he hasn't responded yet. The tire size is 225/45/17 which is making me worried because I know that is pretty wide. If anyone can offer some advise I would appreciate it.

The offset and rim width will determine if it will fit.
Since he is not lowered he really shouldn't have a problem of they are high offset and 7" wide.

If the tire wall is flush with the car body (i can't remember my exact offset, it's something positive about 2-2.5in) at stock ride hit 215/45/17 worked well for me.
However this was too wide when I lowered the car and could only lower her about 2 inches, otherwise the tires would rub when turning. I've heard good things about 205 width.
I wouldn't suggest 225, the car was never designed to handle anything that wide and heavy. Stock rims/tires are 185/65/15. 225 is huge in comparison.
