If you want the right size rims and tire combo, use the following tire calc. It will help you decided what size is best so the car can run as if it were running on stock wheels.

for example if you your car OEM's are 195/65/15 then 225/45/17 is the best so the speedometer stays balanced, you will be doing 60mph when the speedo reads 60mph, other combos will make your speedo read 60mph but u might be going slower or faster than that.

 

Just drop it first, youll be much happier in the end

 

Keep'em OEM then, why bother?

 

I have decided that am going to drop it. And get some 18's . What size rim ( 18/8.5/5 x112 ect..) and tire would fit good on a 98 4 door accord? Am a noob to this shit i don't know shit about rims etc..

 

get 16's anything more is to big IMO

 

think about rims if you still have money after the suspension work:

Drop: Springs & Shocks or full coilover
camber kit: SPC or ingalls (I like my SPC)
Sway bar: Suspension Techniques or any others.

These alone can be costly

Btw, afterward, get some 18s. They look right on 6th Gen.

btw, Jschmid, I keep envy you everything I look at your car. (same goes to Chad as well.) Are those the Royal steel grey? Do you have some close up pics. I'm thinking of getting a set of 17s for as my daily/winter (or 16 - still can't decide)
