Qtuz0FF Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi everybody, I have 97 Honda Accord with V6 engine. I am about to buy rims for it, but I am contemplating on what to get: 17s or 18s. I should mentione that my car is "dropped" about 1.5"? I was wondering, if I get 18" would they rub against fenders on turns? Any suggestions are appretiated. THANX...

TS John Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 You should deffo be okay with 17s on there with that drop. I have an accord lowered more than that on 17s and it's okay, though I wouldn't recommend it cuz it rides like hell. I'm actually parting out that accord, though. It has 17 motegi mr7s on it. In okay condition, a little curb-scarred all around but deffo fixable, and if you're not into fixing they look fine when you're not right up on 'em. If you're interested, PM me and I can send you pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well, if you want my advice on size I would say 17". I worked in a tire shop for like 8 months and learned a very interesting fact. 18 inch tires are expensivo. Plus they'll ride a bit rougher cuz you'll have to have really low-pro tires on there. The 17s on my accord look plenty big with the drop (I think it's about 2" right now). 97accordjdm, the accord I've got is a 92 base level variety. I'm gonna strip it sometime in the next three weeks, so if you need anything, just PM me with offers. I've only got a few pieces I'm really looking to make money off of (such as the rims and the stage 1 clutch with less than 1k miles on it), so I'll be flexible about prices for sure.
