I'm getting 17" rims for my ride. I have a 96 ex accord with eibach sportline lowering springs, I was wondering if i have to do anything before the rims get put on ei: alignment. Would it matter if i put the rims on myself or should I get it done by a shop?

 

No alignment. You can do it yourself. Make sure they're balanced and facing the right way.

 

what size tires r u gonna use?

 

The reason I am asking is because I did mine myself and it was a pain in the ***.

I think mine are 225 35 17s. I thought they were to small for the rim. Im not sure if it was because of the low profile or not. Im not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. I will never do that myself again, however that was my first time and I had very little instruction.

 

it's says 17x7. I have no idea what that means. I know that 17 stands for the rim size, what does 7 mean?

 

holy **** are you ******* kidding me? 7" wide.

 

God help us. Maybe someone (i don't have time right now) could post how to read a sidewall.

 

I am talking about your tires not your rims. what size tires are you gonna use?

 

Don't worry spooch they give everyone grief. But they are pretty smart on honda stuff.

 

What size would you recommend?

 

225 40 17 if you go any wider they could rub in front. My friend has 235 45 17 if Im not mistaken and his rub thats why I went a bit smaller. Hope this helps and good luck

 

I decided to get 18" rims instead. I was wondering what tire size I should get?

 

i have 225/40/18....ill sell you my rims/tires if you havent already bought some.

 

And Kazman's rims are light, so your acceleration won't be compromised too much.

 

thanks for the plug maing...he is correct...even though they are 18's they only weight about 17lbs...and i believe if i remember correctly it threw my speedo off by 2 or 3 mph.

 

shan is a good man to deal with.......hell, if i wasnt so busy buying broken h23a1s i would buy em myself!!

 

haha thanks guys...your makin me blush...

 

what kinda rims you got?

 

Racing Hart CP-035's in white with Kuhmo 712's 225/40/18
