you can fit 19's on a 5th gen without a lift. you can actually still fit them with a drop..they just need to be the right offset and no more than 7.5 inches wide. as far as the SRS light im not sure about that, the systems have been know to mess up over time on 5th gens. Now the part about making your car faster, theres not too many aftermarket parts for the v6 models...and you definately wanna remove the 19's from your list of mods cause that will make you slower.

and uglier.

 

so keep tha 15s on my car? What about my RPM tach?

 

the srs light is probablly a seat belt latch they usually go bad.

 

so check tha seat belts maybe? could it be anyone of them, or does anyone know how to get tha light to go off... still what about the tachometer and my needle bouncing, how to fix that??

 

If I were you I wouldn't go any bigger than an 18, which you can lower your car still and close up that gap and it will look really clean. As far as your SRS light you need to have your air bags checked it's something to do with that.

It's not necessarily the airbags themselves. As someone stated, it could be associated with the seatbelts, the control module, an unplugged wire at the wrong time causing an error, or maybe a blown fuse. The light is on for a reason. If the problem that caused the light to come on has been fixed then you need to reset the system. Directions on how to reset the system can be found on this site with a simple search for "SRS Reset" or by also going into the "Guide to basic Accords" thread. But if the problem hasn't been fixed yet then you need to fix it then reset the system. If you just try to reset the system without fixing the problem the light will just come back on.

 

I know it could be a seat belt but that whole system is tied together and should be checked by a shop.
