So has anyone successfully squeezed a 225/??-15 onto an Accord (preferably 4th gen)? I'm not sure which aspect ratio to go with as I don't have my handy dandy tire calculator with me. This is for autocross. I'm thinking 15x7 Kosei K1s.
Also, could someone provide me with the wheel specs for '90-'93 Accords (like offset and stuff)? I can't find them anywhere, not even in my service manual.
Thanks

225's are too wide for a 7" width wheel, p2rfect for 8" width though

4doorH22

HAHA! Maybe in Virginia, but here in Maryland 225s fit fine on 7" wide wheels.
Heck Honda318dx squeezed 225s onto stock 4th gen Lude rims which are 6.5 inchers I think. Oh wait he's from VA...

225s bolge out a little on the 6.5" stock wheels, but they work fine.. I have even treadwear and no other side affects..

7" wheel would be fine.. I am going to get the 15x7 k1s sometime to put my race tires on.. The problem with street tires though is there is not much of a market for 225/50/15 anymore, since yoko has scratched the AVS-i.. My wheels and tires did fit a 94 accord (urbanlegend21's) with VERY little room between the control arm.. With a custom spacer, no problems..

Like I said, finding a Sticky 225/50/15 street tire will be hard to do.. You might be better off with a 205/50/15 Azenis.. That is what Im going to probably do when my AVS-i die.. You could always go to a 225/45-50/15 race tire on the k1s.. MMM GRIP =~)

Yellowcorn that lucky bastard just ordered a set of Azenis' which he'll be wearing for SpeedtrialUSA.

Honda318dx

I agree with Honda318dx.

SOHCArchangel

yes i have been to a track i have been doing this sort of thing for quite some time now, but i digress, i doubt that i could be any competition for the speedtrial

Honda318dx

Its just for fun.. Hell, most the people I know that are going have never been on the track =`)

4doorH22

Don't worry man. I'm going to get my butt waxed. I'll be dead last. I'm just going to have fun.

damn you guys!! I was all excited that i may get to come, but the Porsche Club is holding a SoloI type event across the street from my house on a 1.3mile banked oval w/ an infield section on Sunday.

Honda318dx

screw that, come to summit point.. Porsche boys and their toys Im sure it would be a long haul for you up to summit point though.. Hum, 4 accords, that would be fun =`)

Conechaser

I think it is like 6 or 8 hrs, i can't remember. The track where the Porsche club is doing their event is <1 minute from my house

(its literally across the street from my house)

Honda318dx

Man, that must be nice =~) I envy you I still say come up to West VA though.. A lot of hondas!! =~)

Conechaser

maybe for the next event in that area i will
