Default Wheel Upgrades to 2003 Accord Sedan

I think some 18" wheels would look great on my new 2003 EX-V6, does anyone have any ideas, can find any online yet.

Probably anything that would fit the 6th gen V6, the lug pattern is the same, and the offset is probably very similar if not the same.

Also, check your factory offset and try to go a little higher than that. Not too much, because you'll rub the fender lips, but if you do just a little more it makes the wheels look less like they're being sucked under the car.

Is there any lowering springs/coilovers out for the new accords yet? If not, you'll be going 4x4 for awhile with 18's....

If he goes with a lower profile tire it will be fine. I went from 15's to 18's on my 2001 and am just .1 inches taller overall (wheel and tire combined). It's all in the tire profile.

yes, but when you get wheels that big and don't lower your car, it somehow becomes much easier to notice wheel gap and the car looks very high.

I guess that is kind of true w/ an open spoke deisgn. Just go with 200 spoke wire wheels and the gap won't look too big.

The wife has 18" Concept Neeper HAAZ wraped in Nitto 555's. They are 215 40 18 and ZR rated. The Accord has Eibach sport line springs custom exhaust and intake and has no rubbing at all. That car rails on those tires, but the wheels are a little heavy. She is into looks over function, but I make sure she only gets the best ****.
Just finished the sterio system and not sure what to due next (performance). The car already looks sick with the new projector beams mounted up front.

What shocks are best for her car? Running on shitty stockers now!
