Looking to put 20 inch rims on my accord!
 

I'm looking to put 20 inch rims on my 2010 Accord Ex-L. I was thinking about these (Vertini Riviera Wheel Black Chrome Lip 20x8.5 +35 5x114.3) kinda pricey everywhere that I've looled. Any suggestions on where I might possibly get them cheaper or similar rims that are more affordable?.... Open for suggestions as well :cool:

Hi Member:)
Mighty big wheel to put on a Accord even tho they will fit. They do cause you high cost and sometimes more problems than you'll wish not to have.
The tires for that size rim are 245/35R/20
You will also need Camber kits and you will have to more than likely have to replace all 4 TPMS's while your at it. This is the V6 model isn't it.?

You do realize that by mounting such large wheels on your car, acceleration, braking, handling, ride, and wheel survivability (from road hazards) will suffer; don't you?

Well would you suggest going with 19's or 18's and then lowering it?

You'll get the best performance with 18" wheels. Personally I'm not a fan of lowering cars, of course, part of that might be due to the fact that I live up in snowy New Hampshire.

I would also go with the 18" wheels and tires..:)

I just got 18 in ASA AR1 rims with 215/40/18 dunlops for my 99 4 cyl coupe EX. I also am looking on eBay for full coilover kits (there's a ton at great prices) and last but certainly not least a camber kit. It'll cost you a decent amount in the long run, but if you shop right you'll find some deals. I suggest Craigslist for the rims. I got my rims (2 with brand new dunlops @ $300+ a piece!) for a cool $400! Didn't even haggle! But of course it's not just rims and tires you'll need to buy. Alignment, mounting and balancing tires, etc. I'm sure you know that. Just make sure you have the budget to fully complete the project! You don't want a lowered car without a camber kit your tires will NOT be happy. It'll cost you more in the end. Good luck take pics and show us how it goes!

i Have these on my 2012 http://aftermarket.motegiracing.com/...d=4&groupid=56

I have the OEM...HFP, 19's on my '13 Accord Coupe...They are awesome..!!!

I had 20s on my 2010 4cyl coupe and it wasn't that big a deal. MPG went down about 2-3 mpg on the hwy, handling improved big time, and braking was barely a noticable difference. Do what you want with your car.

Handling improved compared to what? Fourteen inch wheels? That I might believe. Compared to seventeen or eighteen inch wheels? Not a chance. The larger the wheels, the greater the rotational mass (aka. Angular Kinetic Energy), even if the weight is the same (or even lower than the smaller wheels). Kinetic energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When you put big honkin' wheels on a car you're putting huge gyroscopes up there at the front corners, and those suckers don't want to change direction very quickly. Said another way, the same reason why you lost two to three miles per gallon (and why your braking performance will suffer and why your brake pads will wear out so quickly) is why your handling will suffer compaired to an optimal wheel size.

I think 20's look out of place on the car 18's or maybe 19's will look better

Have you done it? I did. I replaced the narrow stock 17s with 20x8.5 and handling was a lot better, way more responsive and I didn't wear out my brakes or car with then. I put 70k miles on that car in 1.5 years with those wheels and tires on it. I expectee some mpg loss due to the added weight. People are so quick to try and tell people what is and isn't. These arent race cars.... the loss of acceleration or braking would only be noticable at a track. Its a street car. My ride quality was fine. Granted I'm not driving around some midwestern ****ty road city but I didnt slow down for railroad tracks or have to dodge little holes in the street. Just got rid of a dodge ram on 26s for a 13 accord exl v6 and I'll be putting 19s or 20s on 8g depending if I lower it or not.

20s
 

Contrary to what Bamaboy1626 wrote nearly five years ago said, there is no way handling was improved; if anything, handling was extremely hampered compared to a more appropriate size such as a 17" wheel. Said another way, any improvement in handling was in his head.

20s
 

Some 20" wheels will fit, some will not; depends upon the specs of the wheel and the size of the tire you put on them.

I just bought some 20" the tires are 255-45-20 are they going to fit or should i go with something smaller

What are you putting them on; your 1982 Trabant?
