Correct. The OEM 215s are narrower than the 205s I run on my Integra.

I was going to say that. original poster needs to look at the section width of the tread of the stock tire vs what ever tire they are comparing the pictures to more so that the "215" designation.

I just tried putting the OEM 215's onto a 17x9 RPF1 and couldn't get it to bead properly, Cheetah and Lighter fluid both failed.

I'd just sell them and buy some 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 depending on what offset you went with.

205/40 Federal SS 595

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they weight around 16 lbs.

So is it too early to post this picture?

Correct the 17x9 +35 RPF1's weigh right around 16lbs

I'll take some pics of mine soon, and but I went with 225/45/17 Hankook V12.

I am interested in getting myself Hankook V12 but still not sure how long can they really last. I read some reviews but still not convinced about the durability. Any personal experience to share?

thx
