Is it decent to have 17" rims with 215/50R17 rubber without the car being lowered? This is for a 2003 Accord LX, since it's a family sedan I don't want it lowered or any mods on it. Or should I go with 16" rims? What will look better? Price isn't a problem there about $10 off in difference.

Tks in advance.

 

i think 17"s will be good...
but if u gonna get rims..its a must to lower..even if its a pro-kit 1.3" drop...

 

I agree, you gotta lower dude. I had 16s put on my car before i lowered, and damn that ish was ugly i have to admit :/

 

17" rims on a family sedan? if ur not gonna mod it, why put rims onit?

 

Your car will look like a 4x4 if that's what you want.:exnbp:

 

gotta lower it just a little... you'll be glad you did...

 

I rather lower my Accord on stock hubcaps then have a 4x4 Accord on 17" rims.

If you want to maintain ride comfort, save money on tires yet get something decent looking. Get 16" rims.

 

werd.... lower your car 1st and then see how much room you've got. i had 16's on before with fatty tires and it looked like crap. so do lower before you get rims.

 

werd...everyone that does their mods slowly has that transition of having a large gap...but as long as u lower a little its all good :thumbup:

 

first of all on the accord 17's look really small just opt the $$$ and get 18's at least. now onto the drop u'll have the same fender gap depending on how well u keep the stock measurements. however with the low profile tires the gap will appear to look like that of an SUV when in fact its not. i've seen many people in 5th gen accords with 17's and no drop and their car looks so jacked up off the ground. i was really glad i did my drop with my rim change (as welll as a few other mods) at the same time. since ur ride is new just get rims but nothing smaller than 17's
