Default DC2 wheels on Accord

Another quick question, Are the wheel diameters the same for the 96 integra R and the 94-97 accords? So if I were to purchase the R wheels I could use the tires from my accord ex oem alloys? hopefully..... Please...?

i suggest you purchase some new rubber for your new wheels..unless they are a low pro performance tire to begin with

Compare the tire sizes from the sidewall. If they are the same, you should be able to swap, but ONLY if they are the same.

you could still swap them if the width and series tire were different as long as the diameter is the same..

but dont go too low profile, if the car is dropped more than 2inch, 15 with low pro=very low..

I am picking up my itr 96 rims tonight

you'll end up buying a set of spacer, the offset is wrong

ah..the offset of the rims that originally designed for itr is too small for a family car-the accord.

I am getting info from a accord 4th gen owner, which happens to owned a set of ITR96 spec rims before telling me that i could get away by shaving the front brake caliper to get the proper clearance.

I am guessing it's time to break out the dremel

well, I am picking up my itr rims and spacers very soon and I'll let your know once i got them on

ah..if everything works great, tomorrow afternoon

my car is a 4 banger six generation accord btw

96 spec itr rims are 4x114.3 15x6.5 come only in CW color by enkei

which fits an accord with a little help from a spacer or shaved caliper bracket.

97+ itr sports 5x114.3 a 16" rims with gunmetal or CW, same for canadian model

Picked up my set of 96 spec itr rims from a socal H-T seller for a pretty fair price

just spend an hour or so washing it with simple green and end up waxing everything..


worthless picture of my suspension and bling bling lugs

as for offset concern, there's a very minor clearance from the spoke of the rims to the brake pad housing/bracket, accord93ex educated me that i could just shave the housing a bit, but I am thinking a 3mm spacer.

the back fits like a glove

edited: additional pic


Just want to show you guy the detail of the center cap, it's amazingly beautiful red "h" with very high metallic flask in the paint, surround by CW
