At what point (if any) do you need to start doing body work to fit rims on a V6 99 Accord?

I'm picking mine up in 2 weeks, and want to know how big I can go. I'm definitely getting 18's, but debating on 19's. I will be going with a quality set of coil-overs springs/shocks combo, so they will need to fit under a max 2" drop. (likely 1.7")


Also, what tire size is reccomended for 18's?.....19's?

Thanks guys!

 

18x8 should fits well even with some drop, but i must warn you, cg3 will not even tuck the tires with a 3.5inch drop.(unlike civic/teg)

19 inch should be fine with a mild drop, I am using some 45series on my 17x7, lowered no less than 3 inch( more drops in the front), no rub on street and on track. in fact there's still like one finger gap to spare.

for 18s, 225/40-18 is a common size. Your offset is a big deal too, usually a 42mm offset is pretty good

 

Only 225? I want 235 or 245 - hehehehe

 

u should go with a 7.5 or 8 inch wide max with a 225/40 tire. 18s or 19s will fit fine.
