hi im new to this forum board and i was wondering if someone on here can help me out. yeah i know, i currently own a integra type r and all but i also just purchased a 95 4dr accord yesterday. its always been a dream to own one of these.. i picked up the car for real cheap. it has some front end damage but anyways. i was wondering if some of you forum board veterans can help me out. i was wondering if 16's were too small? or if 17's are too big.? yeah see as you can see im a little lost right now. i personally thought that 17's would be perfect. if anything give me your opinion. thanks.

Go for the 17's probably a 42 or 45 offset with 215 45 size tires hope this helps you.

thanks for your help. it is very much appreciated.

yeah 17's are a good size 16's would probably look to small because tha accord has big wheel wells, a 215 45 would b great, it'll give u a decent sidewall and it'll fill out the wells just fine with room to spare though, u can top it off with a nice 1'' drop u would get the perfect stance

i have 215/40/17 on mine (96 accord) and the wheel gap is horrible... haven't gotten around to lowering but if and when i do, i don't want to lower it much @ all, just enough to even it out a little, i can't stand to see a car dropped so low it bounces down the road looking like there's no suspension under it

thank you all ^^ i will definatly go with the 17" wheels. with a tire size of 215/ 45.... hopefully as soon as i get my tig welder i can start producing my own suspension parts for accords. knowing that there isnt many parts out there for the accord owners i want to prove to some of the honda owners ( civic and integra owners) that accords can also be a piece of work for track enviroments.

i lowered my accord a good 2-3" and i was considering 18"s would they be to big and possibly rub the fender when turning?

I run 217/45/17s on my '00 Accord...the wheel wells are about the same size as a 5th gen. I dropped mine 1 inch and its stance is perfect.

ya i have 14" on right now (studded snow tires) and the is about 3/4" between the tires and the edge of the fender
but the tires i have on right now are quite large
good thing i have stiff suspension since i lowered it
i guess ill just have 2 measure the diameter of my tires now and see if 18"s with low pros fit that diameter

These are 215/45/17's on my old accord with a 1.5 drop on Koni yellows and Neuspeed Sofsports....The rims are sittin in my dad's garage for anyone in LI or NYc that wants to put an offer on them. Yokos with decent tread still left....
lemme know
