I am putting on 19in rims on my honda accord, can someone please tell me the bolt pattern that i need and also the rims are 19x7.5 what would the best recommendation for tires would be 1)215/35/19 or 225/40/19, i understand the 225 might be a little big since the wheel width is only 7.5...please help thank you

 

year/model?

 

2004 honda accord coupe 4cyl

 

the lug pattern is 5x114.3 and i would recommend going with 215's for 19's, and yes 225 is a bit big for 19's, especially if you plan on lowering your car..

 

if you look up your car on tirerack, most 19x7.5 wheels listed are mated to 225/40 tires. suggested offsets are mid to high 40s. so the 225 should be good on 7.5, but if you plan to lower, high-er/est offsets will be better. looks like you have 5 lugs so should be 5x1114.3mm or 5x4.5".

what? 215 has nothing to do with the 19" diameter. It was to do with width. At that is 7.5. 225 is just fine. 205 would be bottom line. Anything less than that and you would be stretching the tire. Now you have to look at tire height. 40 would be pushing it. You might have to look into getting a smaller sidewall to match up better with the stock size. I would go with a 30 or 35 series on 19's. But then your car starts to ride like ***. My main concern with 19's would be offset. I dont know what can fit in the 7th gen wheel wells but the smaller the offset number the more troubles your going to run into with fitment. What is the offset on the rims? And not to mention with that size rim, unless you get the properly matched tire your speedometer will not be correct, along with abnormally fast brake wear, and longer braking distances. but its your car man. you do what you want with it.
