what about stock suspension + 16s ?

damn honda service dept talked to my dad about the PCM computer system readings or whatever inside the accords..he told my dad how with anything other than 16s, the car's speedometer would be thrown off, and therefor so would the amount of fuel used, and therefor the worse the ride that leads to ultimate destruction of the world or some poop like that

ordered some Konig Rated R's today, 16s.

Say your speedometer says you are going 60mph with the 18's, you are going like 59.666 or something. I dont know about the gas mileage thing, but you got owned by your dad. Sorry

i personally think 16s are too small for the accord.. its a big car.. needs bigger rims

thats my opinion
