So has anyone successfully squeezed a 225/??-15 onto an Accord (preferably 4th gen)? I'm not sure which aspect ratio to go with as I don't have my handy dandy tire calculator with me. This is for autocross. I'm thinking 15x7 Kosei K1s.
Also, could someone provide me with the wheel specs for '90-'93 Accords (like offset and stuff)? I can't find them anywhere, not even in my service manual.
Thanks

225's are too wide for a 7" width wheel, p2rfect for 8" width though

 

HAHA! Maybe in Virginia, but here in Maryland 225s fit fine on 7" wide wheels.
Heck Honda318dx squeezed 225s onto stock 4th gen Lude rims which are 6.5 inchers I think. Oh wait he's from VA...

 

225s bolge out a little on the 6.5" stock wheels, but they work fine.. I have even treadwear and no other side affects..

7" wheel would be fine.. I am going to get the 15x7 k1s sometime to put my race tires on.. The problem with street tires though is there is not much of a market for 225/50/15 anymore, since yoko has scratched the AVS-i.. My wheels and tires did fit a 94 accord (urbanlegend21's) with VERY little room between the control arm.. With a custom spacer, no problems..

Like I said, finding a Sticky 225/50/15 street tire will be hard to do.. You might be better off with a 205/50/15 Azenis.. That is what Im going to probably do when my AVS-i die.. You could always go to a 225/45-50/15 race tire on the k1s.. MMM GRIP =~)

 

Yellowcorn that lucky bastard just ordered a set of Azenis' which he'll be wearing for SpeedtrialUSA.

Get some more people to go if you can, only have a couple more spots to fill..

SOHCkordVTEC.. How about bringing that car to summit point on the 15th for speedtrial usa event.. I know of 2 other accords going..

 

Who's the other one? Urbanlegend?

 

Yeap, he can't wait to break in that NEW truechoise suspension, AEM pullies, rear ST swaybar, AEM intake, Strut bar, K1s and Kuhmo 712 tires =~)

 

the 15th hmmm, i hope to have my exhaust fixed and polies in, sure im game

 

check out www.speedtrialusa.com.. Its 110$ and you can sign up on the website, there is a running thread here as well.. Sign up man, its going to be a lot of fun! https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=62458.. Post up if your gonna join.. Have you ever been to a racetrack?

 

I agree with Honda318dx.

 

yes i have been to a track i have been doing this sort of thing for quite some time now, but i digress, i doubt that i could be any competition for the speedtrial

 

Its just for fun.. Hell, most the people I know that are going have never been on the track =`)

 

Don't worry man. I'm going to get my butt waxed. I'll be dead last. I'm just going to have fun.

 

damn you guys!! I was all excited that i may get to come, but the Porsche Club is holding a SoloI type event across the street from my house on a 1.3mile banked oval w/ an infield section on Sunday.

 

screw that, come to summit point.. Porsche boys and their toys Im sure it would be a long haul for you up to summit point though.. Hum, 4 accords, that would be fun =`)

 

I think it is like 6 or 8 hrs, i can't remember. The track where the Porsche club is doing their event is <1 minute from my house

(its literally across the street from my house)

 

Man, that must be nice =~) I envy you I still say come up to West VA though.. A lot of hondas!! =~)

 

maybe for the next event in that area i will

 

remember my wheels man, 215/40/17, khumo's baby LUV EM. Soon as i put on my front bar, cai, and brakes, i might bring out mine to the track. pix soon to come.
