Default Rim Size..

I'm Thinking bout getting a set of Rota C10's... I just dropped my 94 accord with H&R Sports and Tokico Illuminas.. Im around the Tri-state area and the roads can get a little nasty.. Can I get some insight on rim sizes? I was thinking 17... Is that a bad size?

Can anyone tell me if they have a set of 17's with sort of the same suspension setup...

Thanks,

17" is a good size. They fill up the wheel gap rather well. If you were to buy a 17" wheel i wouldnt go any smaller than a 45 size tire profile on rough roads otherwise your risk your car getting a flat. I used to have 17's and i ran a 215/45/17 tire and it worked out fairly well.

imo i think 17s can seem a tad bit big on accords, i think 15s or 16s look good but thats just me

17s are the BEST looking with the right tire combo, they fill the wheel well excellent and look awesome, I wont go with a 17 ever though...tires a bit more expensive, I like have a decent ammount of tire...and I love the ammount of tires I can get at a moments notice from just about any place...and my NSX brakes fit nice under a 16x7

I'm running with 17 with a 215/45 tires. They were ok but the tires are expensive. Especially because of the negative camber after I dropped about 1.5". I would suggest running 16 if the area where you do most of your driving is as bad as LA streets. But if the streets are nicely paved then 17 are good. Just pay attention to those front tires for bald spots

Go with 17's... They always look pretty solid espcially on Accords.... If I got rims any time soon, or ever, I would put on 17s.
