hey guys, I just bought some 19s for my 03 accord coupe...what tire size should I use(low profile) to make sure it looks good

 

You know you could've gone 20, but a 235/35/19 is what you want. It is the closest to your factory size.....

 

will that fill the wheel well

.... You're probably gonna have to do some modifications to the fenders and wheel wells to get those to fit.

 

I don't see why I would have to

it depends on the offset, if you have a 25offset, yeah, your control arm will kiss your new meaty tire good bye.

but to be real, nope of the 19 baller/ricer/bling bling rims have 25 for offset except if you get something special from volk.

so back to your question.

is your car lowered?

what is the offset?

looking good have little to do with driveability, put some rubber band tires on it if you like it to look good, but don't blame anyone for that bent wheel afterward

 

18's, 19's and 20's are to big for a Honda, you need to get 17's if you want big wheels. Then use a 205/45/17 tire.

 

yup, I've had mine for 5 months and no problems. I had to lower it to get rid of the wheel gap. You will hear alot of people on this site try to tell you other wise, because of the older accords had smaller wheel wells, but 7th gen's have more then enough room for 20's. The one thing you need to remember is that 20x8.5 I think is two wide and heavy for a Honda's suspension. I have 20x7.5 on mine but alot of people that has done 20's have 8.5 on theirs. I matched my wheel and tire sizes with my factorys.. So that gave me the room to drop it. Some guys are scared of a small profile tire so they go bigger and then it tends to look like ****. If you do it right on 7th gen's only, it will look great!!!! You know if they made a 21x7.5 (which they don't) I would drop my profile to 30 and go with that. But I live in the ATL with no pot holes. But if you go 20, you must lower it a little or your car will sit up on them like a 4x4......I used a eibach pro kit on mine...

WTF is all that?


But yea, you'll want to make a concession; You'll want wheels and tires as close to your stock diameter and weight as possible, but you'll want the tires big enough to be able to handle bumps and potholes better. You'll ultimately want to go a little bigger versus a little smaller if you want to keep your car somewhat streetable.

 

I wasn't trying to put all that stuff on, I was trying to post a pic, but anyway I agree to a point. I don't recommend 20's if you live in a city with bad streets. But before you put a taller tire on a 20 and make it look bad, I would go down to a 19 with a bigger profile... I've rolled on 35 series for a long time and never had any problems..

 

I was trying to post some pics of 7 gen's with 20's, but its not working...

 

To answer your original question, yes it will fit. use this link to calculate your factory size to the size you want to put on. Remember, if your running 19's you can go with a slightly larger profile. I would go with a 235/35/19. That comes the closest to you factory specs....

I still can't post the pics, I'll keep trying
