Hello everyone
Been searching and searching...all in vain... Any one knows what is the wheel offset of stock wheels on 2003 Accord EX-L, 4dr, 2.4L. I know they are 16"x6.5, 5x114 bolt pattern. But what is the offset? The reason for this question is that I am trying to figure out what offset I should go with when I get 18" rims in avout a month from now.

Thanks in advance

I just hope they are not chrome 18s.

No chrome, no bling bling. My Accord is black, so most likely brushed alluminum or light gunmetal. But what's the offset....?

Well the stock offset is probably around 50-55 but that doesn't mean you get the same offset in your 18s, they are a different width, etc.

First off, I hope your car is lowered.

Secondly, in 18"...I wouldn't go any wider than 8", and I would try and keep the offset in the 45-50 range. 8" with a 50 offset might start impinging on the shock clearance, and lower than 45 offset will start to get into rubbing territory on the fenders.

I have 18x7.5 with a 45 offset 225/40's, only very minimal rubbing (this will also depend on your camber settings). If I could have I would have gotten 48 offset.

The factory alum. wheels are 55 offset.

best way to check factory wheels is to remove one. The offset is stamped into the metal on the inside of the rim/ spoke.

Thank you very much to all of you guys. Now I can calculate what offset is the best for me when I start choosing the right 18" wheel, 7.5" wide. Wanna make sure it clears the suspension parts on the inside and does not stick out too much to look like a 4x4.

Cheers
