Well I know I want to drop the fender gap quit a bit yea I was thinking probably 35-40 series and then they told me to go with 215/35/18 they said 225/35/18 might rub so here I am brand new rims in the boxes, tapped out for $ with no tires looking at my rims everyday not on my car but in the boxes lol so do you think it is a wise idea to keep the 18's then will I be safe or shiould I just say screw it and sell the 18's and go for some 17's with tires?
Thanks EliteAccord

 

i cant stand how rs6's look so imo just take em back and get some nice 17's w/ tires. just me though..

 

hmm ok just your opinion.... thanks cool....but I really need help with the question I asked here (this is not a flame at another member so please don't make it out to be) I really need some help here guys anyone ~ ???????

 

Best tire size would be 215/40R-18. Wheel manufacturer's websites usually have a portion of the site dedicated towards wheel fitment.

 

well after going to tires.com and tirerack.com they still say stick with the 215/35/18 size to keep my speedometer reading accurate so now thaqt I have this cleared up can anyone help me out on tires coupe of auction going on ebay for some nankang tires pretty decent price and the spped and tem rating is good along with a 320-340 tread wear rating sonds good what do you guys think I don't want to spent up wards of 200 a tire for a name on the tire~
Thanks and also if you know someone trying to sell some of this size tire please let me know or let me know where I could get a good deal at not much around my town here I got the rims in Colorado Springs at Tire Discount but I live in Kansas (Cow Country) also what are the pro's of 17's and what are the pro's of 18's vs. 17' s and the cons besides a very noticble dirrerence in price of tires~LOL Remember these are going on a 4g accord 1991 Lx Coupe do most 4g's run 17's or 18's?
Thanks again guys sorry for all the questions this is just my first set of rims ~

Hey! I have Nankang tires! heheh. and I like them. A lot. Sadly. They're like cheap Kumho's...if there were such a thing. Gotta love the performance, look, and feel at this price.

I believe they had a test on 17's vs. 18's in Road and Track a few years back. Between 16, 17, and 18, the 17's were best all around in wet weather, dry weather, track, and drag. 18's are only good for looks but 17's are best for all around performance on normal cars. I think that for your gen accord if it's a '91, then I'd go even lower with the 16" rims.

Don't get me wrong. I think 18's will look really nice though, and I hope you don't plan on racing in them. I believe most 4th gens run 17's though. Not that it should matter what other people think. It's your car. Personally, I'd stick with the 18's if they don't rub. 2" drop seems like a lot though (maybe because I have a kit with 1.5" drop).

Got pics of the wheels??? I have 17X7 Enkei Fubuki wheels wrapped in 215/40Z-R17 Yokahama Parada tires, and I live them. No rubbing, great feel, and grip. I suggest going to a 17" wheel, even though i really really want 18's. thats just me.

 

Well I don't have a pic of the ones I have yet cause they aren't on my car they are still in the boxes but I got a pic from tires.com these are the exact rims I have
