Bolt pattern & backspacing for 2003 Accord?
What's the bolt pattern on a 2003 Accord?
What backspacing should I be looking for in a 17" wheel? I'd like to keep it in the stock location. I don't want it sticking out looking stupid etc.

5-114.3, (5x4.5") our TSX is a +55mm offset and since the '06 uses the TL-S rim on the 6-speed I know that was a+55mm rim. So I think it would be safe to assume the Accord is also a +55mm offset.
However, the TL for '04+ is a +45mm if I recall, but the Accord is likely +55mm since it and the TSX share the same optional rims...

Could it be you have rims for V6 model. Those came with +55 offset. The reason for me saying this is that I have 2003 Accord I4 with V6 model front calipers. For the love of god I have no idea why, but I had to bring my old pads to the KVR Performance store, when the ones made for my model would not fit.
Cheers

Here's a couple of helpful tire & wheel size calculators; plus they graphically & numerically display what happens to the wheel/tire location within a wheel well when either a wheel's width and/or offset is changed:

All 6th gen v6 cars are 5 lug, I4 is a 4 lug. Can't put a 4 lug on a 5 lug car...
Trust me I had to argue this out with a rim mfg. once. The i-4 gen 6 Accord's are unique in that they have a +55 offset rim just like the v6.
Anyone with a 6th gen 4cyl with Alloys can check, the rim will read 15 J6 +55 on the rear.
I think if check with Jschmid he will confirm that some of the 2.3 CL's also had a +55 4 lug in '99.
My rims are the standard EX coupe rim from '00, only about 30,000+ coupes in '00 have this exact rim so it's fairly rare (sarcasm). My rim was in production from 1998-00...
