quick question guys...i am getting a set of rims for my girls v6 coup and i have a chance at getting a set of appeals in a 19 by 8.5 very very cheap...question is, will they fit her 01 v6 coupe, thats not lowered, with out big rubbing happening in the front...any info would help thanks.....erik.....

 

need tires size and off set

 

rims are konig appeal

tire size is a 235 35 19 ..i know this tire size is to big for a lowered 6th gen...not sure for a stock height one...figured i would automatically have to roll fenders and maybe purchase 225 35 19 tires for at least the two front tires,,,,

offset is 44

let me know....thanks....

 

Yeah, You can do it!!!!

 

yeah..is that a smart *** answer or is there some knowledge behide that answer...

I don't give smart *** answers bro, if that's what your looking for, go somewhere else. Pending the correct info, such as offset, whether the rim is front wheel drive, If the car is lowered (how low ) then yeah it will will fit!!!! I've dealt with rims and tire sizes on many different cars and trucks for over 17 years. I think I know what I'm talking about.... Back to the original question, if all the specks I mentioned just now are correct, then you won't have any problem, but 8.5 may be pushing it a bit. I might stay around 19x8 at the most. But their has been some guys that had 8.5's on their accords with know problem. Just be careful.....

 

That thing is gonna look funny, I think.

I like my 15''s.

 

8.5 and 44 offset? damn.. def. gona look ....unique for lack of a nicer word.lol

I've seen 6th gens with 19's, but in order for it to look right, you have to lower it 1'' to 1.5''. 6th gens have more wheel well space then older gens, and 7th gens have more then 6th gens. It's do-able, but 8.5 width on that rim might rub after lowering it. That's why I said go 19x7.5 or 19x8 max on a 6th gen.....NOTE-- if you don't lower it, your car will look lifted...

 

if it will work, u shud really consider lowering it just a bit, maybe an 1" or 1.5" just to avoid the 4x4 look, and the lower stance will really compliment the new wheels..but wow, 8.5 inch is pretty wide, rollinders will defeinitely be a smart idea

Your right bro, I agree!!!!

 

it should fit. i got 19 x 7.5 +40 offset w/ 225/35/19 tires. slight rubbing in the rear, none in the front. my car is lowered around 1.5-1.75 inches.

That should not rub on a 6th or 7th gen. What year is your car???

 

ok ok ,,kbank...just to let you know, i wasnt trying to act rude or anything, so i apoligize if taken the wrong way..I have worked with car mods for over 7 years too..so i DO know that a 6th gen has more wheel space, and i know that they can handle 19 easy....that are 7.5 or 8 inches wide that is!!...like i said early, my boy gave me these rims dirt cheap...300..so i want to put them on my girls car since she wants her accord done up..i have sold 19s for accord all day long with the proper tire size...and i know that the TECHNICAL proper size for a 19 on a 6th gen is a 225 35 19..i have sold that...plus i own 2 6th gens, both with 19s with a 225 35 19...i was always pretty sure, nah , postive that a 235 35 19 would rub in the front...but i wasnt sure about the rear??? and on top of that a 8.5.... i thought to myself...dam that is defintely gonna rub...since the wheels came from a 01 maxima, which can handle a bigger, wider rim, and bigger, wider tire as well...right there is where i got concerned and doubt fully....BUT not only has you said that it will work, but so have a couple of good friends i know in the biz have told me that it will work...so i am gonna try it, but IM going to replace the front two tires, since they need it anyhow, with 225 35 19s, AND get the fenders rolled....im just not sure if lowering the car is gonna push it?!?!?....i have a pro kit lined up for it.....but again just not sure, and i dont want to have my girls car running back and forth to have the suspension taken apart.....What you think??!?!?.....thank you very much so far guys!!!.....oh yeah IF ANY wants some 19s, im selling my set of axis spiders that are 19x8, with parada spec 2s for 4cyc (4x114.3) for 1 g any one interested im me, or i will trade for 17" bronze wheels!!!

Hey, no problem bro. We just get guys on the forum making wise cracks instead of trying to help people. It's all good, no offense taken. You know something, I mis-calculated. 235/35/19 is what you should use on a 7th gen not a 6th gen, so that was my mistake. I agree on the 225/35/19, but even if you lower it with the pro kit, you shouldn't have a problem, because your car comes with a gap from the factory. The rim and tire combo you want adds up to your factory set. The only thing is whether the 8.5 will rub in the rear. I personally don't think it will, but that's why I said 19x8. But I feel you, If I had a chance to get some wheel for $300, I would go for it to..... Check this size chart out.

Your diameters are mainly the same, so just look at your car now and measure 1.3 inch's lower, from the top of your fender well, down and that should tell you what you need to know. The width of the rim will play a small part in this but over all with the 225 on there, you won't have a problem.....

 

That should'nt rub, Can you tighten the screw so it won't stick out, or can you remove it all together???

 

you're saying it shouldn't rub but i experienced it on numerous occasions. only when i got some passengers with me and i hit a dip in the road. i somewhat solved the issue by taking a dremel and grinding down part of the plastic.

it's not the screw that's rubbing, it a part of the rear bumper. i'd take a pic of what i'm talking about but my car isn't with me, it's at a car show.

Well that's weird, I haven't heard that from any body else with your year. Did grinding the parts work? Is it rubbing on the back side of the wheel near the bumper, or at the top of the fender? You may have the wrong offset on that wheel. Then again, if it's only doing this with people in the back, you may need stiffer springs. Take a pic of it if you can!
