Re: WIDE TIRES (under_the_hood)
Why do you want wide tires? Is this a show car? Are you looking for better performance (in which case there are other things you should be looking for rather than wider tires)?
What kind of Accord (or Accrod
) do you have now? What year? Which engine, four or V6? Which model, EX, DX, LX, etc?
Do you have the original wheels? If not, what size (diameter) are your wheels?
Will you be using these tires in snow and frigid cold during the winter, or only in moderate to warm temperatures?
Any autocross or track use?
Answer all of these questions, and we can recommend a tire (including size) for your car.
BTW, there's a function on your keyboard you should become familiar with:

Your car came from the factory with 195/60-15 tires, and there are some decent tires in that size (Yokohama ES100 for summer tires, Bridgestone RE960AS all-seasons if you drive on snow as well as the rest of the year). I would stick with that size if you continue using the stock wheels.
If you want wider tires, get 16" wheels and 205/50-16 tires, or 17" wheels and 205/45-17 tires.

Re: WIDE TIRES (under_the_hood)
Just curious about a few things. How do you plan to mount the engine? What transmission will you use? How will you get the bell housing to mate up? How will you run the axle to the rear diff? AND A MILLION OTHER THINGS. Good luck and show us pics of the finished product.
