Default Stupid F'N Tires... Help me find these Rims

Ok I looked at a tire sizing guide or whatever. It says my car needs 205/45/17 or 215/40/18. So I finally find the rims I want (http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/RacingHart/c5.gif) and I can ONLY find them with 205/40/17 or 215/35/18 tires (tried wheelmax.com and a few other sites). Why the hell can't I find that wheel on my size tire? Can anyone help me out on this? I really don't want to have to buy the wheels and tires separately. Extra shipping and having to pay to have someone mount/balance/whatever them would not be cool.

why don't you email or call them and see if they'll give you the tires you want on the rims you want. i think whatever thats on the site is not in concrete you can get your choice of tires i believe, im sure if you're spending that much money you can get your choice. good luck.

the reason they run those sizes is probably because it's more profitable for them or it might be a package for civics/tegs. you can always ask for other tire size packages because you need the right ones for your car! i am not sure what the stock tire size is on the 94 ex, but if it's like the 4th gen ex cars that have 195/60/14 (rolling diameter is 24.21"), the new tire size should be 225/35 (rolling diameter is 24.20").

if you have a stock usdm accord, it only has 4 lugs so how would a 5 lugger fit?

the 93 is a 4th gen and there were no v6s then...so all 4 lugs.

as for the 5th gens, even the v6 was 4 lugs.

5 lugged accords appeared in the 6th gen v6s.
