Ok, wheels are Motegi Racing SP5 in 17X7 with a Gunmetal finish and 40mm offset. The tires are Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's in a P235/65/17. When I first saw the size of them mounted on the wheels I thought I had made a BIG mistake (somewhat of a pun intended). I bolted them up and everything looked good. Drove it to an empty parking lot and started doing fast full steering lock circles. When I stopped to check it out, there was the ever so slight hint of rubbing on the front inner fender liner...specifically, the square section that sticks out to cover the pinch weld on the rear most part of the opening by the mudflap. It literally was just a slight scraping and I never heard a noise. So, I think they should be good to go. My initial impression is they ride smoother than the Mastercraft Courser A/T's that were on it (215/70/16) and they also generate less road noise. Oh yea, they also raised the height of the center of the wheel arch approximately 3/4" from the ground. My speedo went from about 1.5 mph fast to about 2 mph slow based on my in dash nav unit.

I will get some better pictures up eventually, but for now, these poor cellphone pics will have to do. My old enV definately took better pics than my Droid does.

She needs a good cleaning now, but I present to you....The Tonka Turtle :-D

Fresh off the jack

Gave her a quick bath to clean off the blue stuff from the lettering.

Next up.... rear wind deflector which I already have and either a full brush guard, bull bar or the Honda bumper piece in the front and some side steps.

Looking Good bud!!!!

Very nice!!! The rims go well with your E and your color scheme. The tires
are very aggressive, and since you have an AWD E, they look awesome!!!

Thanks guys. I have to admit....the wheels are going to have to grow on me some. I had one of those on my display rack in my shop for a while and always thought it would look good. I decided to order a set when I found out they were being discontinued. Now that they are on the E, I almost think the spokes are too narrow. I actually really liked my stock EX wheel, but wanted something different. I will use the stockers for winter now. I am thinking once I paint the calipers (something very subtle and nuetral) so the rust doesn't stand out so much, I might be more pleased. Don't get me wrong, I like them... I just always question myself when I do these kinds of things, lol.

Shoot I'll take them off your hands! I think they look great.

Thanks. Yea, on the drive into work today, I had a number of people watch me cross intersections and such and then, when I went to lunch, I rounded the corner of the building to walk to my parking spot and I just had to smile...the Tonka Turtle looks good, lol. I still need to give her a good cleaning and paint the brakes though.
