Yes! You might might rub your tires on the inner fender wells when turning sharp though. Should still be enough clearance though! i wouldnt go any wider of a tire than 205's on your 17" with that offset just to be safe with the inner fender rubbing on the tire!

thanx guys, i have 215/40/17's now on my motegi's w/42mm offset. they rubbed so i rolled fenders. i don't know about 16's, i think too small for my accord. i'd have to step out of the low profile look but i'll concider it since they would make things even lighter.......oh and what is offset, what is that a measurement of?
