05' Accord and 17" Rims
 

I was thinking about getting some 17's. Does the computer have to be reset or do any adjustments need to be made?

It's not the rim size but the overall diameter of the tire. If the tires
you put on the new rim match what was there, no adjustment needed.

sssuming adjustments must be made. How do I go about doing this?

they look cool, but unless you drive on glass, the lower profile tires
necessary to keep wheel diameter make them more easily dented on pot
holes. i'd consider keeping stock and spending the money on decent
rubber instead.

You don't drive on the rim. The rim size means NOTHING. As Seth
pointed out in an earlier post, it is the overal diameter of the tire
that matters.

You don't have 15" tires. You have tires that sit on a 15" rim and have an
outside diameter larger than 15". It's that outside diameter that counts.
You could put on a 9"rim and if the tire has the same outside diameter
nothing will have to be changed or adjusted.
