Default Accord Type S rim swap
I was wondering if rims from a 2002 Tl Type S would fit on a 2002 Accord V6? Also any suggestions on exhaust systems.

yes. I have the CL-S rims on my car. The TL-S rims are 6.5 in width vs the CL-S are 7. So fitment will be good on your ride.

Have you done any suspension work yet?

Not yet, should that be done before? I eventually plan on putting air-bags in.

no, you dont need any sort of suspension to mount the wheels... it just may look a little funny cause of the larger diameter tire.

Yes, some Bridgestone Potenza S-03's would look mighty nice humping a CL-S rim :thumbup:

Uh, putting a lower profile tire on the stock TL-S wheels is gonna make the car look higher up, it's not gonna change how large the wheel gap is...........

What he is talking about is the circumference of the stock 16" wheel will match the 17" with a lower series tire.
