I'm currently running 225/50 R17 wheels and tires off 2021 Accord LX and wanted to replace tires and wheel with something better.

I found that 255/45 R17 is actually perfect match to 225/50 R17 overall circumference.

I'm wondering if anyone did it, not racing or autocrossing, just for looks lol

That would be a big NO in my opinion. Those wheels are only 7.5 inches wide. That size tire is 10 inches wide. A bad match. The looks and the handling would be far from ideal.

Go 235/45-17 max.

And keep in mind you're comparing the tires to your current 225/50 which is a bigger than stock CivicX diameter. Stock CivicX 17's are 215/50.

Oh I forgot to mention that wheels will be replaced with 17x8 :)
