I own a 2000 v6 2dr Accord with a lowered suspension running on 17' enkei's. I'm in the market looking for rims.
Can anyone please help me to understand what's the widest(in inches) my Accord can handle front/rear. And with what size width of tires that go with them.

Scenario: "I'm looking for 17' or 18' rims(depending on style), and I need to know how wide I can push my wheels without rubbing or breaking the rim. I'm hoping to get the "drifting" look if possible. Which means that I'm going as wide as I can on the wheels and I'm planning on "Stretching" the tires a bit as well.

If anyone knows, please inform me: how wide, what size of tire, and what's the biggest offset I can get(as far as making the lip bigger or wider). Thank you.

im really not sure what you mean...drifting?

 

Hi New Member...

Here is an answer to your rim size questions...

You can go to 215/35/19's on the front and to 225/35/19's on the rear...
Your lug size should be 5X114.3mm with a 20Et front and a 40Et on the rears, that will make you ride look really tight..

Here is a nice wheel for you to look at>>>

You don't want to go past 7.5"-8". 225-235mm tires is will fit those widths. Running the same widths and sizes simplifies rotations and it's easier on the pockets in the long run. Bigger lip...look into Axis Wheels

 

6thgen, same question kinda... A lot of websites recommend 215 for 7.5s.. will 225 give it a more flush with the wheel look? I don't want my tires to tuck in from the wheel.

 

215 on a 7.5 almost seems like too wide of a rim..no? ang, any insight here?
