um...You wouldent HAVE to lower it with 20's. 20's are just going to look goofy on the accord with no suspension mods to lower it. But lowering it could cause lots of rubbing. If you want 20's you picked the wrong vechical in my opinion.

I think biggest you'd safely want to go on an accord are 19s...ideally 18's, if you want big rims. I don't think it's worth the trouble to get dubs if you're going to be rubbing/ bending a rim with every pothole.

yes on the 6th/7th gens, 19" is just pushing the limit.

On the 7th gen, it seems like you can fit 20's because 19's don't even look that big. Remember, even with 20's, you still would need to lower it if you want to reduce the wheel gap.

on the honda factory performance coupe concept there were 20" black chrome wheels and it was dropped...looked gooooood. and they seemed to fit perfectly. they didn't look big at all. They looked like 18's on a 6th gen. there was a lip kit on the car too tho, that helped....but 20's dont look bad at all on the 7th gens...if honda can do it, so can you....but i dunno why u'd want rims that big unless you plan to drive realll slow....peacE :werd:
