I'm about to buy some 15 inch beater rims in a 5x114.3 pattern that were formally on a 2003 Accord. The tires are a 205/55R15 size. Am i gonna run into any problems? Are 15 inch rims too small?

thanks

 

Do you have a base or a Type S? If you have a base you should be fine. However there is only a very small selection of 15" wheels that fit over the Type S brakes so you could run into problems if you have a Type S.

 

I put 15" 03 v6 mustang on the front of a 05. slicks were mounted to the rims

 

...why...

 

why not? Im sure they were free or very cheap.

 

I wasn't asking about the rims, I was asking about the V6.

 

Haha. I hate mustangs. I'm sorry. I just do. And I'm sure mustang owners feel the same way about us.


I just noticed that 02_Si_FTW has me quoted in his Signature. Not sure if he is making fun of me or not though! I was just stating that for the price Rotas are nice lightweight wheels. I would personally never run a set of slips (TOO MANY OF THEM) but I have friends with them and I'm impressed. I like the new cast Buddy Club wheels though. Very decent price and they are buddy club!

 

oh i think you misunderstood him. He did type kinda off. But i think he meant he put rims from a v6 mustang on an rsx/ep.

lol no theyre not. Im not making fun of you, I just had a laugh at you saying that about such **** rims that degrade the real stuff, And YES ive had them all, and I can honestly say I'd rather roll on oem rims than rotas. You can buy a nice pair of enkei's for the price of rota's. Guess to each his own, Just my opinion. Why would you buy a pair of rims that 5 other guys on your block have? I just dont get it.. but lets not get this thread out of hand.

 

don't you rock Rota's now, on your ep?

 

No. Im rolling on enkei rpf1's right now.

 

oh, where's the pics???

 

Havent washed it in 4 months.. i think you guys would laugh haha
And dont get me wrong, rotas are cheap *** "OK" rims, But I myself dont like them anymore as they are more popular than fanny packs were back in the 90's. Nuff said.

 

If you got a type s its not going to work. Calipers are too big unless you dont give a crap about your calipers rubbing against the wheels?
