what size are your rims? If they are just stock rims, theres nothing wrong with the 195/60R15's that it came with. You may have to roll the fenders, but its no big deal.

currently on 15" steelies... not sure what the tire size is, but there is a 5 finger gap (stock suspension) between the wheel and chassis.

you can use your stock wheels and tires, just install a camber kit, and have an alignment done after the lowering it is instlled.

Stock size is recommended. Or are you wanting to be a bling-blang tard with 19" wheels on an economy car?

16's-17's. I'd stick with 16's, but 17's would be OK if you ahve at least a 50 profile.

The 195's that came on there look small and have a huge gap. Makes the car look lifted. I'm guessing these would look good with it lowered though. I put 205/65R15's on mine and it looks a ton better at stock height almost perfect but I'm not sure if it would work lowered. I also have some 18"s with 215/35R18 and they fit but are more like the size of the stock 195's so they should work too.

At stock height I think the 18"s look incredible on my Accord but I've seen some with 17"s that look good too. Smaller than that to me doesn't usually look as good but I've seen some that do. From a preformance aspect probably 15"s. I thought this was asking about tire size the first time I posted as I saw people posting about tire sizes and didn't read it all the way through.

I have 17's on my accord lowered to tire tuck in the back and 1.5 finger gap in front with 225/45/17 tires. I ripped out 3 out of the 4 wheel liners so dont expect to keep them in there. Probably going to need the roll the fenders for that low of a drop. I like my 17's but they look small sometimes I much rather would've spent the more money to get 18's. Depends what you're going for though. I show my car not race it.
