Default 20" rims 02 accord 4cyl coupe

i had some 20" chrome rims on, and it has messed up my alignment. i take it to get it aligned, and they can only get aligned to a certain point. are the rims over all bad for cars? what effects can these have on my car?

Can you post up the spec's from the alignment? Might help to identify the issue (rim's vs something in the suspension).

Sounds like "something" else is up? If they can not get it right then something is not right.....camber, toe, ect...but there is not enough adjustment to get it right. Without more info, I can only guess from here?

If the camber is off, there are some kits that can be intalled to allow for adjustment. Depends on how much it is off.

One of the sponsors of this site offers them - TAS Auto, tasauto.com

Or you can search around other places.

Really need to be sure how far out, if at all, the camber is.
