Default What size wheels on a 93 ex???

Hi, I'm new to Honda's, as I have had jeep's up 'till now. I just bought a 93 ex and it has the stock 14" steel wheels with covers..(sucks). I was looking at edge racing and saw some of the Flik wheel packages, which I liked, but I don't know how big I can go with out doing any mods to the car....HELP........

17x7 works well even if you lower it some.

I depends on your road conditions and really, what you want. 15X6.5 with a 38 to 40 mm offset is common. Tire size would be a 195/50/15 or a 205/50/15

I have 195 50 R15. The 15" Honda alloy wheels were cheap because someone switched them out at the dealer as they come stock on the '03s. Big difference in handling from the 14s, much more stable IMO.
