Does anybody know what size of rim does it fit perfectly for honda accord 96. I dunno if it is 17x7 . They fit perfectly like the BMW has. Without lowering or coilcover.... Thanks

 

Huh? Try typing out your question again please, that is confusing.

 

MMm... sure?

 

I think he means he wants to know what size rim looks decent on a stock height 96 accord..........not sure.......usually you must lower to get a decent look from 17 or even 18"

 

Even with the largest rim/tire combo you can find, no rims will look perfect without lowering. That's the only way to eliminate the wheel gap.

 

Ding ding. I would go w/ 17's at least, I've seen some 18 and even 19 inch rims on accords, they dont' look that bad, but you still have to have it lowered a tid bit.

 

i had some 17X7 and i had a gap.. my homeboyz got an 01 accord and some 18"... there is a gap,but hes got a system and when there 2 0r 3 people in the car his tire rubs when he goes over bumps

 

15x7

 

I think for 5th gens, 17's are a good size.

 

for show and bad acceleration go with 16" or above

for optimal tire wear, acceleration, and all around practicality go with 15" x 7"

 

Yeah.... 15" is the most functional your gonna get. Plus, tires won't cost such a damn fortune. I would go with 15X7 as well.

 

I think if he wanted functionality he would have hinted towards it, not which ones "look" the best.

 

to me 15" looks much better on a car with low power in the first place to a racer

I laugh at kids with big *** rims that pull up next to me and throw out revs

 

You also have to think about Gas Mileage....

If you put 18's on it takes more power for the engine to spin the 18's so its going to eat more gas. I would go with 18's though becuase it would look really nice

 

Yeah, it would look nice, but 18's on a 5th gen is kinda pushing it. You'd probably have to roll the fenders to keep it from rubbing.

 

I have 18" Niche Shock rims on my 95 accord, and i lowered it about 1.5 in. and it looks awesome. But no matter what u get make sure u lower it

 

V6CpeGirlie, you have no clue what your talking about. I have a 5th gen with 18's and have never had any problems with tire rub and mine is dropped 2 1/2 inches. Go with 18's on a fifth gen if your going for looks and good handling. You can een put 19's on a 5th gen, but expect some rub....i have seen this setup before. 15's give too much tire rollover during hard cornering.

 

I beg to differ. Rim size has very little to do with roll over. It has more to do with tire size and pressure. I push my tires to the limit (110 mph through VIR's uphill esses) and only roll the tire to the edge of the tread, which is perfect. I use a 205/50/z15 Kumho Ecsta 712 on a 15"x 7" Kosei K1 wheel with about 40 lbs on average(different tracks require different pressure) in each tire when hot.

 

Go with 18's

 

You can run 19's on a fifth gen without rubbing problems.

If you want simply looks, go with 18's or 19's.

 

Um... that's kinda mean. I do know what I'm talking about. When I make comments about stuff, like most people, I talk out of my own experience. The comment I made about 18's on a 5th gen is based on experience I've had, and that's it. So what, do I make a disclaimer now on every post of mine saying, "This is just based on my experience, so please forgive me if I'm wrong." Or should I put that in my sig? Please... I think that's kinda rude that just because you don't agree with me, you say I have no clue what I'm talking about.

 

if you put 19s on an accord.. itll be more than mostly for show. theres no way youll get more performance from that, or even 18s, as you will from 16s or 17s. it just gives you more rotational mass and basically weighs you down more. if you want to be big on performance and speed, dont go over 17s. if you want looks, you can fit 19s on your accord easy, and even drop it a little. you may have to get a bit of body plasma cut inside the fenderwell or something to get it to keep from rubbing bad, but thats it.

 

Munk, go back to HMC, I don't want to see you coming around here!
