Default What size wheels on a 93 ex???

Hi, I'm new to Honda's, as I have had jeep's up 'till now. I just bought a 93 ex and it has the stock 14" steel wheels with covers..(sucks). I was looking at edge racing and saw some of the Flik wheel packages, which I liked, but I don't know how big I can go with out doing any mods to the car....HELP........

17x7 works well even if you lower it some.

welll if you want to race a bit id say go 16 at the most...17's look too big imo...but if its just a cruiser 17's would be ok

I depends on your road conditions and really, what you want. 15X6.5 with a 38 to 40 mm offset is common. Tire size would be a 195/50/15 or a 205/50/15

I have 195 50 R15. The 15" Honda alloy wheels were cheap because someone switched them out at the dealer as they come stock on the '03s. Big difference in handling from the 14s, much more stable IMO.

16 is the best of both worlds

if you want a little more performance go 15

16's and like a 2.5 inch drop. if u are only gonna lower your car less than 2 inches i would get 17's, but id prefer the smaller rims with the lower car
