New to the forum, my son has a 1992 Accord Ex with the existing stock rims, 15 x 6 with 195/60/15 tires.

I have a line on some 4 lugRota rims (opinions?) that are 16 x 8 with Hankook tires - waiting to hear back on the model and size. The person I spoke with said the offset was a 40, but he was going to check.



Is there a conversion table somewhere that would help me know if I will have any fitment problems? From the picture I am looking at they look like a 45 or 50 profile.

 

Here you go..

Thanks, I am familiar with the Miatasite. I am a little more concerned with the rim size difference, epecially the width.

A little more info.

The rims are 16 x 8 with a +40 offset. We are currently running the stock aluminum rims, 15 x 6, as seen on this car.



The tires are 205/55/16. They are Hankook K106's, here are the specs:

I am thinking from what I am reading, these will wear pretty quickly as it is a performance tire.

Anyone have any experience with these tires??

Thanks for any response.

Tire Specifications:
Make/Model: Hankook Radial K106
Size available: 205/55R16 91V
UTQG:340 A A

 

Shouldnt wear too horrible, the treadwear is 340. Ive driven on 240 treadwear tires and they lasted fairly long, even with all my crazy driving.



And you should be able to squeeze an 8in wheel in there just fine.

 

I'd make sure they're the right lug pattern first

 

Bill - Thanks. The seller bought them for a 93 Nissan 240, with a 4 lug pattern. I checked and that is the same lug pattern as the Accord. He decided to upgrade his lug pattern to a 5 lug, that is why these are available.

Appreciate your input!

What is fairly long, what kind of mileage can we expect...in Florida, smooth roads for the most part?

Thanks, Grizz

 

As long as the car is on stock suspension and is decently aligned, hopefully 20,000 to 30,000 miles. It really depends on how much tread is left on the tires at the moment.

 

Thanks Finch - I'll take a look at them. They are supposed to be brand new, less 50 miles...

Ended up not doing the rims and tires. Had a better deal (though more boring and safe!) fall into my lap. Someone had totaled a 93 EX with the aluminum rims. Had just bought some Michelin Pilots (45,000 mile tire) 100 miles before the car was totaled.

Ended up trading my rims and balding tires (similiar to stock photo above) and $250.

Thanks for all of the advice along the way.
