I picked up some Michelin Ice-X 215/50-17 winter tires. Just wondering if 17" x 6.5" and 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern rims off a Rav4 would fit? Thanks.

I think they’ll fit. Sidewall will be bulging out a bit. Most Honda 17” wheels are 17”x7”. You’ve got the right size tires.

I' d be surprised if 17s would do on an Si. The front calipers will rub.
I bought 17 mags ( 2008 Si ) on Kijiji and I had to work on them with a grinder.
You can see them on page 31 of the thread: What' s your SI looking like today ?

17s will fit the Si. That is the smallest you can go and have it fit around the front calipers.

Will these wheels fit 215/50/R17 tires on a SI?

Mine has the 2013 Si wheels and they sit flushed but fits perfectly.

You'll also need to check the center bore. The Civic center bore is 64.1mm. Anything smaller won't fit. If it is larger than that, you should use hub rings.

EDIT: Looks like Toyota uses a 60.1mm center bore, so if that is the case, the RAV4 wheel won't fit onto a Civic, as OEM wheels are typically hub centric. Check the center bore size before you buy.

Perfect, thank you for your great response. You saved me from a costly blunder.
