tyre size

215/45R17 fits 7 to 8 inch rims and 225/45 from 7 to 8.5 inch, so both tyre size are ok for 7 and 8 inch rims
225/50R17 should not rub on full turn since same width, but if lowered scare it will scrub the wheel fender since is larger in diameter. At 3.55% bigger is slightly over the 3% rule. Meter under read by 3 to 4 kph, slight loss in initial pick up, and stopping from high speed requires slightly more effort, but since is turbo should be fine and if brakes have been upgrade that will be fine too.....
Cannot downgrade meaning still need performance tyres?

225/45/17 Dunlop, japan, SGD $115
225/50/17 kumho, Korea, SGD $115
225/50/17 Dunlop, japan, SGD $120
just SGD $5 more, to get a better comfortable tyre, it seems to be a better deal.
current, 225/45/17 don't rub nor scrub even with full load etc.
still got allowance, 1 finger 2 finger for front and rear.
50 profile, should be ok? scare later purchased and suffered..
downgrade means to 17' and below.. you told me to go for 16'..

225/50R17 should have quite some choices, same as previous Honda Accord tyre size.
Can the tyre shop fit and let you try on your car first, meaning fit on and see the wheel clearance?
Going 16" can use 55 to 60 series, but of course performance all gone.....
Kumho,PS31
Dunlop VE302
nope, no trying..
hence, want to know if anyone manage to fit 225/50/17 onto perdana

try look for indonesian tyre... far cheaper...
achilles atr sport 2 ---> 235/45-17
accelera phi-r ---> 225/50-17
both tyre i've tried....best bang for buck without worrying about tyre reliability....
Kumho PS31 in Kumho range is UHP
Dunlop VE302 are Dunlop Premium range for comfort and silent ride, since looking for comfort this looks like fit you.....lol
I think SG like that. If you are in PJ. my friend shop sure can fit and let you try.......lol
its expensive over here in Johor..
that's why I consider to buy in sg instead.
i notice indo tyre harden easily and crack.
i yet to see any wall crack on my 002 but on the main road area..
peeling off, not sure if its because of the 220 threadwear.
If really just 7/8j widths then yes, better just use 215/50/17 or 235/45/17. I think 225/50/17 is a bit too big already for your car even though the widths also fit 7/8j rims.
If 8.5j then should not use 215 anymore, then if 9j must use 245 already.
Rather than speculating, better you shot some pictures of your tire fitment for front and back from a side angle and show us here, then we can see if the tires are stretched or not and then estimate already what are the widths.
Hmm better from 2/3 angle or photos from the corner of your car looking towards the side from back to front and vice versa so can see if the tire is stretched or not. But looking at your photos above looks like not yet stretched so maybe not so wide rims.
I had one set GY Asy2 in 2011 then tried GT Radial in 2012. Somehow agree with your statement, even my GT Radial harden and crack earlier than my GY Asy2. GT Radial 4 years only, GY lasted 5 years...

hence I rather go for korea rubber, it still behave well even at 4th years.
Bro,
on second thoughts.
maybe I should just sell off my adjustable and convert to stock..
I'm worried about the lower arm bush damaged again..

Stock sure will be more comfortable, but you cannot lower and will the stock be able to hold your turbo power?
My stock suspension cannot hold the VR power at all. Initial pick up, the head goes up, the rear goes down like prancing horse......lol
