First off, the Accord switched bolt patterns when the 5th gen came out. You have a 4 x 114.3 mm bolt pattern.

Secondly, the stock 5th gen EX tire size is 195/60-15. The go any wider while maintaining the same sidewall height you could theoretically switch to a 215/55-15 except nobody really makes tires in that size. Pretty much any performance tire in 15" will be either too wide or not tall enough.

Amazingly enough, 215/45-17 is just about a perfect match in height for the stock size while giving you a reasonably low profile and a bit more tread width. Not sure if you want to go with 17's or what but it's a pretty decent idea on that car.

Otherwise a 225/45-16 will be about the proper height but I'm not sure if that'd be too wide.

exactly!:fawk: so yea...i think if a 15 wont work a 16x8 would be great! i'll have to figure something out...the gramlights were 23x a piece for 16x8 which is good for me.


hi chuckie! sowie no 17's on the new g-ride. too much to deal with for me, and the 15's or 16's will handle better, go faster and be cheaper! thats all that matters!
