Alloy wheel sizing, 03 on

[adrenalin84]

Alrighty there peeps, got an Accord type s and its sitting on its standard 16's and looking a bit sorry for itself, i know my car is already slightly lowered as its a type s so i was wondering, what size i can go up to without greatly affecting the ride comfort?,

17's
18's
19's :twisted:

stick with 16's :embarrest:

Would prefer comments from type s owners but any advice is welcomed!
Cheers,
Rico

What do the standard 16's look like? Not a fan of non-performance aftermarket alloys tbh. Sometimes powder-coating your standard alloys and lowering your car a bit more can have a much better effect imo...don't forget bigger wheels will slow your car down.

lets see them

I had a set of 17"'s on my ford focus (up from std 15's) and they were comfortable enough, and that was with it lowered 40mm. The std alloys would look better with a refurb but i think the car screams out for bigger even if they were in exactly the same style, i am not going to go all bling bling

do the civic alloys fit ? they could look nice depending on the car. slightly bigger at 17"

 

[adrenalin84]

civic alloys....hmmm....not too sure bout those cant decide if i like em, i think i'm gonna go for 17's for sure, prob oem ones though to keep every1 happy :d

 

[turbonutter69]

Mate don't do it to keep everyone else happy. Do it for yourself. Me personally would think 18's.

 

[obi_waynne]

I'd go with 17's and some low profile tyres to keep the wheels to the same size as the 16's overall.

Don't go crazy with big rims on a Honda mate! Go for 17s max. You could always have it lowered it as well?
