Default factory rims on a tein'd 6th gen?

im old and fat and like the ride that I get with the stock size goodyears on my ex rims, ive been thinking about just putting the tein street coilover kit on and letting it sit like that for a while till this brand new goodyears run out. or do you guys think that would look like crap and id be better off selling my stock rims and tires and getting some 17's.

im having some trouble with the search function, can anyone help me with some pics or a link to 6th gen accord sedans lowered on stock ex rims? cant seem to find any.

my car is a 98heather mist metallic sedanEX btw. photoshop would be fine too

thanks in advance for helping this noob

as long as you're not tryna dump your car on the ground i think it would look fine on stock wheels. some lowered cars can look pretty dumb when they're on stock sized tires though. i don't know if you do any "spirited" driving but obviously a lower profile tire is going to have performance dividends over stock tires as well.

nah, just wanna get rid of some of that fender gap. I think my tires are 195-55-15's too so they aren't that big. I want it to look clean but not all ricer'd out since im a white fat old man that was heavy into import in the mid 90s then switched to racing and now im back. this car is for cruise purposes only. low and slow is just fine with me but im old and have a bad back so id like to keep the comfort ratio high if possible.







another question, what will ride nicer if the car is just as lowered theroreticclly?
a car with 2inch drop springs and tokico blues? or tein street coilovers adjusted only with a 2 inch drop?
