What are the biggest rims you can put on a 04 accord ex v8

 

i mean "v6" not "v8" typo!

 

you can squeeze in a 20 with stock height, but you'll be running rubber band tires.

not sure about 22" perhaps some other bling "G" should fill in

oh yeah, next time you made a typo, just use the "edit" option

 

i've never seen anything larger than 19. If you did go with 19, it'd be with a 35 aspect tire. don't know if that was lowered or not.

&lt;center&gt;i had 19" on my ride here's a pic of it

it sucked, i had balled tires within 3 months, no burning out or nothing, as soon as you slap the 19" on u can feel the dramatic acceleration change, slows your car down big time, so 19" and higher not recommended, 18" would probably be the best with not too much hassle...here is where my tires are at right now

"BALLED and sitting at home"

20 inch all day big boy. Just make sure you size up the tires right. I have 225/35/20 on mine. Lowered a 1.5 with no rub, no fender rolling. Looks great, but my rim size is 20x7.5. 20x8 you can still lower it, it's just hard to find that size, but 20x8.5 you can find all day. I thought 8.5 was pushing it, but I've seen alot of 7gen accords rolling them here in the ATL. I went 7.5 because I wanted to lower mine.

Check out my avatar, that's 20x8.5 on the 4door, and that's after being lowered. I have a 2door, I just haven't taken any pictures yet!!!!!

 

 

with 20s you may even want a 30 profile

 

Not necessary if it's a 7th gen.If you could see how much room is left without dropping the car when you put a 20 on, you would be very surprised. You can run a 40 easily, maybe even a 45 if your not going to drop it. But bigger profile will 1) throw your speed-o off, 2) a wheel that size, with the car at stock height will make the car look lifted. Some people do this to get rid of wheel gap instead of lowering the car. BIG MISTAKE!!! But some people like that 4x4 look. 03-06 accords have more then enough room. I bet if they ever come out with a 21x7.5, that's when a 30 series tire will come into play. You could probably run a 35, depending on how low you lower your car. But this is for cruisers only, racing as you know is totally out the question!!!

 

Biggest thing I hate about the Accord section, all the ricers think their big wheels are cool........

Your right guys. I keep saying, guys on this forum have different opinions about this subject. Some hate big wheels, and some hate swapping motors and wasting money on making they're car super fast only to lose your license, or kill yourself or some body else going 110 on the interstate. To each your own!!! whatever floats your boat. Some people are in to certain things and some are not...

Only ricers endanger other peoples lives by street racing, most of us knowledgeable people only race legally.

only a ricer with a fartcan would come up to you and rev at you on a street with a bunch of cars, or some black guy with 20's or 21's on an accord (who would undoubtedly lose) that is how people get killed.

And, i don't see why you would build a car just for looks, that's a pure waste of money.

Whoa, you may want to be careful there buddy. Even if statistically more black people have big rims than white people you may want to watch it.

Sorry, but I had 3 people rev at me last weekend when I had my gf in the car all 3 times and it infuriated me. (i guess that's what you get nowadays with rims and exhaust)

The first was a black guy (not to be racist) in a white 7th gen accord coupe with probably 19 or 20" chrome rims who revved at me repeatedly at 5 in the afternoon on a crowded road then peeled out.

The second was a wigger in his durango on large chrome rims who nearly killed me trying to cut me off and brake checked in front of me to try and **** me off. (later at night with no cars on the road)

The third was an old drunk guy in a jeep cherokee who cut me off and nearly killed me again then challenged me to a race (thank god it was 2 in the morning with no cars on an empty road so that I could take him up through 2nd and beat him)

 

Some people want to spend money on looks, instead of power. Just because this is what you are into, doesn't mean that's everybody choice. Playing devils advocate, you can say it's a waste of money, putting all that stuff on your car and going to the track. I don't think anybody on this forum is going to make nascar money. ( Just opinion)And back to the rim thing, maybe that's how everybody with rims from your area is, but that don't mean that every body that spends money on they're car does that type of stupid stuff. You shouldn't stereotype people especially when comes to race. You said it's a waste of money to go for looks. Last I heard, people like their cars to look nice, that's why we wash and take care of or cars. I don't know, maybe it's a new style, driving a plain, ugly, worn out looking car. I'd rather Drive normally (like you suppose to) with my rims and clean car. To most people that's not a waste of money. Now if you have a guy that has nos stickers all over his car, big wings and gadget's all in the dash trying to look like he's from the fast and the furious, then I may see your point a little bit, but still, if that's what he wants to spend his money on, that's his prerogative.

sorry, guess I put you in the wrong category of people, and seeing as your from atlanta then the black comment may have offended you, my apologies.

agree completely i put you in the wrong category of people. but the personality of people that i know and have met only build their cars (escalades, tahoe's, denalis) for looks because they want to flaunt their "wealth". (granted im a high school senior)

those are the kids I hate, and i see all too many of them driving around Orlando. I also wash my car regularly because I like it to shine, but the people that put full carbon-fiber body kits and 8" fart can exhaust's on their cars don't make any sense to me.

 

No problem by me, I figure you didn't really mean anything but you have to be careful nowadays as the world is getting more politically correct by the second.
