Default which wheels fit accord V6???

i have a 2002 accord ex v6 and was hoping to upgrade my stock 15"s for some stock 16"s or 17"s from eBay. do these rsx wheels fit our cars?


also, what about the new TSX, TL, and RL wheels???

it seems like offset might be a problem, but i dont have any of the wheel specs to compare

I'd be careful about the RSX wheels...I've heard of brake caliper clearance problems on Accords.

You have a really nice selection of OEM wheels to use in 16 and 17. Some of my favorite are the optional OEM "Silverstar" 17" 5-spoke gunmetal wheels. Perfect offset, look great. Previous gen TL, CL and S variants all will be a good match. First gen CL wheels will not fit and only come in 16". TSX wheels will fit great and look great as well. Any Accord 5 lug wheel will work and have great fitment.

The new Acura TL wheels will bolt up, but the offset makes them stick out a bit.

the new TL wheels stick out a little... probably 1/2 to 3/4" more than the stock wheels... but it looks kinda funny... I saw a set on a 7th gen accord and it didnt look right. I have also seen RSX wheels on a 6th gen and it looked very nice. The new RL wheels have a different lug pattern.

If you look around on the board, you'll find some 6th gens with TL-S/CL-S wheels, looks very nice IMO.
