Lowering your car will not help much IMO. And don't put low profile tires on 16s rims, it'll look weird and make the overall diameter smaller than stock

16s on an Accord? NO! But if you happen to go that route, don't get low profile tires and totally ruin the image of the car. IMO, ANY car with a goot drop will make it look sexy.

perhaps in the future, low profile tires
lower profile tires on 16s IS what will mess up your speedo... it's all about the over all diameter. THAT's what affects all that ish... don't listen to everything the dealer says... i been to COUNTLESS dealerships where i knew a helluva lot more than the people trying to sell me the kar.

if you're getting an '03 accord, they have a factory body kit and factory 17's. i've seen it on the coupe and it looks really good. you should check that out unless you've already gotten one

17" is a minimum for rim size for the Accord, although you might get away with 16" on the smaller Accord Coupe. It's just a large car, period. And lower it dammit.
