Default are 18's gonna look small?

I'm lookin for a set of rims to replace the stock 16's on an 05 accord sedan. Are 18's gonna look small, cuz the wheel wells are kind of big. Should I just go with the 19's instead?

Yeah, a couple months later. Just haven't seen many pictures of how it'll look. Is there a good site to see some that have been done and dropped?

search on cardomain.com

Personally i hate anythign much bigger than 18's, but some people prefer 24's and bigger (not on the accord obviously). If dropped properly, it'll look fine (to me) but you may think otherwise.

i just put 19's on my 06 coupe and I really need to drop it cause it looks just about the same height as my stock 17's just because the tire is bigger on the 17

Do you have to worry about cracked rims? I don't want to go 19 if i gotta worry about every little bump and pothole.

if you are goin to put 18's on how much should you drop it. On a 04 accord sedan, but it does have two 12" kicker l5's a amp, and about 20 pounds of dynamat if that has anything to do with how much you drop it. Thanks, Matt

i don't think it will <u>perform</u> better.. actually it would just make your ride quality go down.
