damn 20s on an accord? i dont think they would fit you would need to lift it or do some good ******* fender rolling.

i would go with some 19s and call it good

why do you want 20s ??

look at this thread and see if you like the 19s in it they are for sale https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1419905

Your right, this has been asked a million times on this site. You can make it fit but it won't look like the 7 gens with 20's because the wheel wells are not as big on the 6th gens. A 19 in that wheel well will look like a 20. A 20 on that car will just look to big and you will probably have that 4x4 look. Stick with 19's with a 225/35/19 or a 235/35/19......

its the bigger is better craze

when it comes to bigger rims it just kills performance

i would say dont go bigger than some L/W 18s and just drop your car a little

did you look at those rims? did you like them? i dont know the kid nor have i seen them in person but in his pics they look good

i think its kinda funny seein pple roll around in cars that have more ground clearance than freakin trucks because of the 24" wheels.. dunno bout anywhere else, but its a big thing to have an old caprice or some other "box" chevy w/huge wheels.
why not on an accord too?!

hell, there was a guy in town that had 20" spokes on his 4 wheeler. straight pimpin' yo.


19's woudl look sweet..and thats about as big as ya need to go. be mindful though.. mileage is gonna drop drastically.. as will acceleration.

Yeah your right. 02 should not put 20's on. 03-05 can do it with know problem because of the size of the wheel well. I know I have 20's on mine, and I still dropped it 1.5 , it can be done on 7gens but the person has to make up there mind, do I go big and cruse or go smaller for performance? To bad we can't do both but I chose to cruse with mine. I can still get up and out when I need to but I don't drive that car like that. I have a Camaro SS for that in when I'm feeling fast and furious.....

what has the honda-tech i once knew come to in recent times...last i checked, this is a performance oriented website...the small crowd that is more into show instead of go is located in the appearance and cosmetic section...maybe you can find your answer there...

and no, i'm not trying to be rude, but when someone comes to a performance oriented site asking about extremely oversized wheels, you can't expect much different...

EDIT: and in fact, here is a link to where you need to go: https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=28

Well as long as it's not a 7th gen. I tried on some 19's on my 03, and they looked smaller because of the size of the wheel well. But your right, he has a 6th gen and 20's would be wrong. Even if he got them to fit, it wouldn't look good at all. Unless he plans on racing, I would go with 18 or maybe 19. Depends on the street conditions where he lives. Of course if he's racing, he should go alot smaller for less weight...

thanks hondabum4life. appreciate the help. Jase, you should check out the link above. I have a set of 19's for sale that would look killer on just about any car. And im selling them for a really good price. let me know if you are interested.

I actually put them on a buddy of mine's 6th gen and they looked stunning. And there was still room to drop the car quite a bit.
