Default Question about wheels & suspension

For starters, I am new to the '03+ model Accords. Also, I have searched and did not find what I was looking for.

I currently drive a 2007 Honda Accord LX Coupe. The car is completely stock right now, and I am wanting to put full coilovers and wheels on the car.

A.) I am looking for coilovers suggestions.

B.) I want to know if these wheels will fit my car: Vossen VVS CV2

I know that they will fit the G8 because there is a very popular video about them on the G8 Accords. But if anyone can provide me some info on how these wheels fit on the G7 Accords, that would be great!

Thank you in advance!

You know. It's kind of funny how not one person has said anything on this thread. Is that just how Accord drivers are? Because I never had this problem when I had my GSR. So much for getting help from any of you.

Maybe it's just that nobody has any experience with that combo. You could just call Vossen at 888-463-7778 or 305-463-7778...

I have actually already answered that question on my own. I did in fact, talk to Vossen. However, correct me if I am wrong. But I am pretty sure that I did not just ask about the wheels. I also asked for coilovers suggestions.

5x114.3 is the mount pattern you are looking for on any rim. as far as suspension goes, it's all a function of how much you are willing to spend. I dont personally have much experience with low end over the counter units, but I am sure the brand names that normally rise to the top with other chassis, are going to be the same with that 7th gen.

Awesome, thanks MSchu! Yeah, I am looking at either getting Function & Form or Megan Racing coilovers. I have heard a little bit about them, and they seem to be a pretty good choice.

When new. On the Subaru forum, there are some un-happy customers. To be fair, that's not to say they are bad. Just keep in mind that you get what you paid for. I know many Gen 8 Owners that are happy with them.

I guess it all depends on your expectation on how long you expect it to be trouble free/wear out. If it matches it, then you are golden.

Some change coilovers like they change socks. Some guys like to wear the same underwear every day.

Haha I hear ya. I may end up going a little more high-end just so I don't have to replace them so often.

Thank you for the heads up!

Dude 20x9 vossen might not cut it with available 32-38 offset @5x114.3 plus coilovers? You should probobly get the most is 19 x 8 @ 225/40/19 @ 38 offset with 2" low and have a front adjustable ball joint/rear camber kits. To me the best size is 17x8 @ 235 all around with coilover plus camber kits. Coilover max low is 1.5" i guess without front camber kit and just rears plus bigger RSB with poly bushings AND FTSB and your good to go.

From what the rep from Vossen told me. They have those wheels in 20x9 and 20x10.5 for my model vehicle.

Just as a side note, but 20x9 at a +38 offset is going to be rather aggressive fitment and is probably going to rub all over the place if you lower your vehicle.......

I would suggest you search for other users with a 20x9 +38 wheel and see what issues they have run into. I have 17x9 +38 in the rear of my S2000 (with rolled quarter panels) with a 1" gap I rub on bumps.

I will definitely check into it. But they do have different offsets available.

Please, correct me if I am wrong. But wouldn't the fitment be practically the same as this?
