Icon2 2008 Accord wheels on a 2001 Accord?

I have a 2001 Accord EX-V6 with stock alloy wheels. One is slightly bent and the rest just dont look so great anymore so I want to replace them with a set of 2008 Accord Alloy wheels.

My accord is a V6 so it's a 5 lug wheel pattern. The 08 wheels are also 5 lug. I'm waiting on a picture, but was told they are 5 spoke aluminum wheels. From what I found (guessing which one it is) they are either 16 or 17 inches.

Will these fit on my 01 without any modifcations at all? Are they the same bolt pattern? Will I have speedometer/gear ratio issues?

I assume the answer would be no since they're both stock accord wheels, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

Simply because they are 5 lug does not mean they will fit. You are in luck that Honda generally uses 5x114 so being they are OEM wheels the bolt pattern is correct.

You make no mention of the offset, width, sizing, tires, etc so there is no guarantee they will fit without rubbing.

*edit*

To give an example, 98-02 alloys with stock sized tires rubbed on my 96 Accord, and in fact the wheel would hit the tie rod at full lock.

The 2008 sedans had either 16" (LX-P) or 17" alloys.

The 2008 coupes had either 17" or 18" alloys.

First one, I doubt you will see any issues with because they are 6.5" width, and I'd wager a mid 50's offset. Same probably goes for the second as well, but you are running an inch wider, so you may want a wider tire on them as well. That may rub your fender liner.

This link will show you wheel size, bolt pattern, and offset. I use this site frequently when I am looking at rims on CL.

Hey, so I got the wheels and while I currently do not have my car, I looked up the stock size for Accord Ex 4dr V6's and got 205-65-15. The wheels I just got are 205-60-16. From what I've looked up, they're almost the exact same overall size (wheel + tire). Is that right?

Also, turns out they werent 08 wheels. They were five spoke 03 wheels, but the price was right and they're in mint condition with new tires, so I cant complain too much.
