Hi,

This is really my first time ever posting in the Accord forum, My name is Tim and ive had my '00 EM1 for 6 years now!

im trading in my '02 Xterra for an '03 Accord V6 Coupe.

My questions are as follows:

What is the bolt pattern and offset (i think its 5x114) but im not sure the offset? id like to order some 17" rota grids in bronze to put on my new Taffeta white Accord.

secondly i was looking at the Tein S-tech springs as i heard they are designed to retain the stock shocks and keep them from blowing out after 2,000 miles on the newly lowered car. can anyone comment on this?

so, if anyone can help me on the offset and perhaps where to look to buy these wheels and if anyone can help comment on these springs id be much appreciated!

glad to hopefully be apart of the accord community!

 

Hello and Welcome!

To answer the first question, the bolt pattern you stated is correct. An offset between +40 and +42 is optimal, although anywhere from +35 and +45 will work.

I have Tein S-techs on my car, they are great. Have been lowered for 3 months (4,500 miles) and the ride is great, no complaints. Haven't replaced shocks/struts, but am looking at a koni yellow package ATM.

I bought my wheels from Urban Imports, they are a site sponsor, and when I bought my wheels at Christmas, they were offering free shipping, and it wouldn't surprise me if they still do. They have a large Rota selection and order straight from the factory usually.

If you have any other questions, I'm not supposed to advertise for other forums, but PM me for info on other 7th gen (03-05 accord) specific forums.
