Biggest wheels I can put on?
 
Okay so I know that it comes with 15" wheels, but what's the highest I can safely get up too.

By the way, got the OS sensor fixed, fixed my seats, as well as putting in a new lighter. Thanks guys for the help. :hugs:

get a lift so you can roll some 22's son! LOL jk. i would go with 17's personally (i think they look the best) but 18's will fit (might need to roll your fenders so they dont rub if you bottom out?)

Thanks man, yeah i've been looking around and i found these 17" and i have to say i've fallen in love with them =] though i know that it's gonna be a bitch to clean them, but it will be worth every penny.

buy some mothers with the polishing ball that fits on a drill :beer: from what i've heard they work wonders!

the more important part with making sure a wheel will fit is how much sidewall you want on your tires. do you want rubberbands or do you want lots of meat? there are calculators online to find what size tires would have the same diameter on a 17 inch rim as the stock ones.

Get some 17's with a deep lip, spacers, coilovers, and rool your fenders. Slam that shit and it will look tight.

18s are the biggest i think, without rolling your fenders....go to tirerack.com and you can see how the tires/rims fit on your car.

Are you in middle school? :crook:

1) Proper offset wheels don't require spacers.
2) Seeing how the kid had trouble with how to fix his cigarette lighter I see rolling the fenders as overkill and easier said than done.
3) "Slamming that shit" and it will make your handling go to crap, beat the shit out of the bushings (Which I'm sure he won't know how to replace or fix) as well as putting your oil pan, exhaust, transmission, and everything else in the line of fire.

*edit*

To the OP 17's and 18's fit reasonably okay on the 98-02 Accord, the tire size will dictate rubbing issues.
