I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I do not recommend trying to put a 17X9 +35 on a Prelude; those cars have probably the highest offset of Hondas in general.

A 17X8.5 +38 barely fit on a Prelude, with a stretched tire and rolling of the fender. If you intend or don't mind pulling the fender out maybe 10MM and running a degree and a half of camber, then sure a 17X9 +35 just might fit.
