Everywhere

An Accord wasn't meant to hold 23" wheels. The fenders would have to be rolled out like crazy for starters, you may end up with rubbing the sides of the fender well if you turn to sharp, etc

18's and 19's can look good depending on support mods, 23's I'm sure can look good but the car was not meant to handle it.

i dont think a lifted accord with 23's would look good at all. i hate the new fad of lifting cars to fit bigger rims. they look like clown-mobiles

yeah, uh.... no

hell, a normal tire for that year Accord is what... 24in overall diameter? No way would a 23in rim look good or not have issues.

Haha, I'm sure it could depending on the setup, for example, air bagged full on tucking? VIP style? I think that could do it, jacked up though no way in hell.

How much you wanna bet that they are not what you would classify as DDs.

I could just imagine what it would be like to hit one bump with those rims and tires. Bet you would loose a filling or two if you had any.

I'm guessing that they would have no working suspension per say. Therefore I would think that they probably handle like pooh. Not to mention they probably have the turning radius of a 59 Eldorado. The pic of the Barny purple one with it's wheels turned is probably it's max turning radius.

To the OP,

Yeah I bet you could get 23s in under there. You would need a set of 20 series tires and the will to endure a lot of spine tingling bumps. Make sure everything in your car is bolted down tight. Then go around and tighten everything once a week if not more frequently.

23's on an accord, doubt you could fit them especially in the front.

I hate this new fad as well... we call em donks.

these accords on 22" rims look so rediculous, its like they are photochopped..

I dont know about other areas but down in the south the "new" look is old *** box chevy, 22"+ wheels, (lifted of course, no other way to have it) finished off, with a favorite snack logo. (cheetos, m&m's, etc)
...and NO they arent sponsored !


please tell me someone has some info on these setups !!! 0-60, 1/4mi times, braking, etc. lol ! id like to see how much 20+" wheels compromise performance, it cant be good

OP, do what you want, its your car... remember, bigger is always better.

Not only would they not fit AND look a little cheesy (to say the least), but you would have alignment and steering problems. Unless you did it correctly, which I doubt you would, you would have some serious negative camber, you would be rubbing, and your ride would be so rough and bumpy you would never want to step foot into that car again. Furthermore, if that didn't do it for you the negative camber would give your car such a violant bump steer you would loose control for every bump you hit. Hondas, with their stock suspensions, have a very very slight bump steer, now if you were to throw 22's on your Accord that extreme negative camber ware would ATLEAST double that force and send you flying to the more postive side for every bump you hit.

Just throwing those things out there....
