Default New kid on the block

Hi all,

I'm the proud owner of a 2003 accord EX-L. I previously owned a 1995 EX V6, which I traded in for my present "love" . I'm thinking of making some upgrades but nothing too crazy . I'd like to start off with the wheels. I'm thinking of going with 18s, (18x8 axis rims to be exact) has anyone out there experienced any problems with rubbing, "ride", etc ...? I will try to post some pics of my progress to track the transformation. Until then, I look forward to reading any feedback or tips.

I would not go any bigger that an 18 X 7.5" rim, you more than likely will get rubbing on bounces and harder cornering, this of course depends on a weak and worn out suspension.
You need to watch that your tire's do not go over this Overall Diametor OD 25.3"...... Tire size should be a 225/40/18.
Hope this helped you make a wise decision !
