Re: Rim Size (94AccrdEX)
I'd look at a website for The Tire Rack
http://www.tirerack.com
They have a program for rim / tire selections.

you can get some 28"s, but they probably wont fit on your accord without some modification.
oh no, you live in ohio.

Re: Rim Size (94AccrdEX)
17 maybe 18, but will you be able to drive in Ohio with low profile tires? Those type of tires, you can't ride on like your factory's. That's a different world riding on those!!!!
Re: Rim Size (.ken)
19's are as big as you can go and still be somewhat practical..and man do they look sweet!
i dont knwo the sze tire youd have to get to keep yoru speedo the same.. it's 35 series w/18's.
maybe a 30 for 19's?

Re: Rim Size (mac_24_seven)
I don't think 19's will fit, unless he does some mods on the suspension, but 215/30/19 is the smallest they make in 19. It might work, but I don't think it will. Not on a 94!

Are you sure those are 19's? They look abit small for 19. But I'm sure that tire is a 215/35. They look more like 18's

Re: Rim Size (kbanks45)
Wow, if those are really 19s how on Earth do they fit? Especially with that thing lowered, how can he turn? I think those might be 18s that look a little bigger because they have such skinny spokes. I may be wrong though, but if you want some driveability I would stick with 17s max.
Re: Rim Size (kbanks45)
im almost positive that they are. matter of fact, i belive its a konig wheel. but i cant find the link on the site to get back to the pics I have.. theyve done re-arranged everything and made it stupid and gay.
i know 19's will fit because I was kicking myself AFTER I bought my 18's WISHING I had bought 19's. plus I've seen 5th gen accords w/em on.
and if i had something aside from )(*^#(*&# dial up here (at work) i could searc a HAIR faster and find the pics again.

Re: Rim Size (94AccrdEX)
Opinion only:Go with 17s and 205 40 17s...
Fact: Ive got em with proxies 4s, Tokicko illuminas and skunk2 coilovers along with ingalls camber kit, Meagan strut bars (upper and lower), dropped 3 inches with a boosted f 22 b1... With the illuminas set on 4 in the rear and 5 in the front (saves my down pipe a bit) car handles like its on rails, AND rides well...
Opinion: 18s - too big unless you got some gotti *** body kit, 19s??? HA HA HA whatever
Fact: Lower profile tires make your car ride harsher and more rotating mass makes your car slower too, especialy if stock, or close to it, i put in a 10 LB fly wheel, and have 260 WHP and its fun times man!!! Fun times!!!
Crappy pic, but heres mine...

I don't know about 19. You might be right but that year has smaller wheel wells, and that will make a 18 look like a 19. I know 6th gen and 7th gen's have much bigger wheel wells. My 03 lowered 1.5 has 20's because of the size of the wheel well. I know 95-97 can do it, but you will have to do some mods and maybe even fender rolling.

Re: Rim Size (kbanks45)
ehhh, i still think theres too much gap on mine..
18" Motegi MR7 225/35 -generic- tires H&R 1.5 drop
i think 17's look wayyyyy to small on a 5th gen..18's look good.
but you are def right about the rotational mass... i dropped 4 mpg and there was a considerable diff in acceleration when i put the 18's on.
the next wheels i buy, regardless of what size, ill save a lil more and buy lightweight. weight made more of a diff than i ever expected.

Well, if you want to go fast, go smaller, but if those are 18's you can go 19, but you would have use a 215/35 or 215/30.

Too much gap? Are you refering to the gap between your fender and the tire?
Getting larger rims isn't going to change that gap if you get a tire that still has the same overall diameter. If you want less gap between your fender and tire, just drop it a little more.
I agree with .ken, when I had my 95 Accord I was going to get 16" rims. But thats just my personal opinion. That and the roads around here aren't that great, a lot of pot holes. A friend of mine broke a 17" buddy club rim after hitting a pot hole. He ended up buying my 15" Prelude Si rims and selling the remaining 3 buddy club rims and is much happier now.

i understand that.. I guess should have made myself more clear (I knew what I was talkin about
) i was referring to the drop.. i need another inch or so for it to look sweet

Re: Rim Size (94AccrdEX)
you can fit 19" but i'll stick with 18" you have more of a safety with thicker tires. i think you rather have 40 series than some 30 series tire. with a little drop your 18" would look good.

..oh my... sooooo funny.
17's is what i have, looks good with some almost low profile tires!
My friend has 18's, they look nice, with low profile tires, and slighty lowered car... it fills up the gap and looks very neat.
19's start to make the car look like a "pimp's ride", it looks a little bit too big for the accord itself.

this is my 97 accord running on 17's!!!
