Hell, I threw 22s on my Accord for about 2 hours then I sold them to a guy with a 4-lug trunk for $3200 ( Only paid $1250 ) I'm goin' 22s on my Sentra next... ... BUT to your question: YES! They will fit! |

Email Post Number: 4561 Registered: Nov-05 | i'd prefer not to draw peoples attention to my car... if a thief saw you have some big rims odds are more likely hes going to peep in the car not only that, theres some nasty pot holes in some places down here..  i just don't see the point in hurting gas mileage and putting more strain on the motors/trannies for a bling factor |

Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 254 Registered: Mar-06 | You can't see inside of my Sentra now.... 20% tint double layered with 15% * Equal to 2 1/2%. ... Honda is a different thing though! NO TINT! ( Looks better to me ). And as far as hurting your tranny... Naw... If you have a good model/series car, only your FOOT can mess something up. * Mechanic told me that * |

|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 462 Registered: Jan-08 | wheels are not part of the car... lol Use your head, the wheels especially 20" are not a nisessity on cars... they work perfectly fine on stock 16" wheels... sorry to break all your hearts, but a stereo is an accessory as well  LOL!!!! |
|
Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessDD 9515f, 148.2 db Mov... Post Number: 5467 Registered: Apr-06 | eh..without wheels a car wouldnt be able to move... which makes it part of the car. |
|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 463 Registered: Jan-08 | sorry... i ment the 20"+ on the car aren't part of the car... just something to make the car look irrational |
|
Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2135 Registered: Mar-06 | I say that you dont need to buy a cheap azz car so you will have money left over for rims. A lot of people around here buy beaters b/c they are cheap and they can buy big rims. thats what bothers me... |
|
Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessDD 9515f, 148.2 db Mov... Post Number: 5474 Registered: Apr-06 | big rims only look good on nice cars.. like bmw 750 chrystler 300 all mercedes and jags and most lexus |
|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 464 Registered: Jan-08 | yea, when you put then on shitty cars like what these kids are doing... just looks so taky |
|
Gold Member Username: Mygame5982I Got More Watts Then ..., TEXAS US Post Number: 2470 Registered: Jan-06 | my twenties made my galant look ten times better..and the five tint.. looks like a baby benz now.. |
|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 466 Registered: Jan-08 | lol why not invest in a better car? like idk... a rwd car instead... or an awd... you live in texas, no need for a fwd pos |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6270 Registered: Jul-06 | no need for fwd anywhere haha I hate FWD, no burnouts FTL. Not that any of these 4 bangers could do a burnout anyways |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4564 Registered: Nov-05 | my car won't do a burnout and yes, big rims on a car such as a honda can hurt the motor/tranny/drivetrain over time.. it is extra rotating mass, along with a meed for brakes for that rolling mass.. think of the weight difference over stock? then the size distance? also throws off your speedo.. gotta think some of the cars people put these rims on don't have enough torque to tighten the lug bolts ill stick to my factory size.. 235/40ZR/18 |

Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Trinidad, Co Post Number: 702 Registered: Mar-06 | can u guys post pics of accords with 19"s and 20"s... i been lookin but i can't find any... thanks |

Gold Member Username: ShortysetniesRock Vegas, NC US Post Number: 2138 Registered: Mar-06 | The thing around here now is older cars and crown vics with bright new paint jobs and 26's. I think if you have to lift the car, dont do it. The only time that anything over 20" looks good on a car or mini truck is when the wheels are tucked... |
|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 467 Registered: Jan-08 | FWD is only good in icy areas... RWD and AWD is where its at... Come to think of it... besides ICE... wtf is FWD for? RWD is faster, RWD can drift RWD is much better on the car AWD is just pimpin... why did they start FWD everywhere? is g@y LOL along with 20" on an accord..  |
|
Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Trinidad, Co Post Number: 703 Registered: Mar-06 | lol... i don't like the box car look... i like big wheels but i don't like it when it makes your car look like a truck...i would never lift a CAR....thats why i had said i have a stock suspension and if i do anything to it its gunna be a drop |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4570 Registered: Nov-05 | stick to the 18"s and do a 1.5" drop.. accords are fixed up more for racing other than bling factor.. sport look but no limit.. you do realize FWD has less drivetrain loss so lets say have to identical cars, power,gear ratio,tire size,ect .. only diff is one is FWD and the other RWD .. the FWD would be quicker over-all i prefer RWD over FWD anyday AWD is fun yes, i love my AWD, but powertrain loss sucks |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 5945 Registered: Jan-06 | yup drivetrain loss. also im 99% sure its cheaper to make FWD. main reason for FWD also if you put huge rims on a car that doesnt have them stock it is bad for it. your mechanic is wrong. your adding more moving mass which will put more strain on your drive train. unless you regear which i dont know how that would work on FWD, if at all. and youll start eating threw brakes unless you get hi-perf ones. and why put big rims on a cheap car they look tacky anyway. |

Gold Member Username: Crayola02008 Nissan Versa!!, Wisconsin Post Number: 2298 Registered: Jun-06 | after reading this, how big of rims can u put on without really hurting anything. cause my car comes with 15's stock and i was gunna get 17's. would that be ok |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6285 Registered: Jul-06 | Yep its cheaper to make a fwd car thats why all the pos new cars are FWD now Best drivetrain IMO: part time 4WD like my Blazer has....... mad burnouts and can screw around in RWD, and great traction in 4WD. Limited slip rearend is good also.... |
|
Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 259 Registered: Mar-06 | My Accord looks better than ALOT of other cars/truck... ... But I feel what you're saying about the speedo & braking system. * Me accord has been upgraded to Brembo & and th Speedo has been readjusted. ( was doing 12-15 over ) |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 6296 Registered: Jul-06 | Umm dude, if you increase the size of the wheels the speedometer will read SLOWER than you are actually going |
|
Silver Member Username: Talon_es93Trinidad, Co Post Number: 704 Registered: Mar-06 | lol.. thats true about them being more for racing but its a four door but most of all i got a kid so i know i ain't gunna be racing no more... ang i have been thinkin about just doin a drop instead of bigger rims but its really what my girlfriend wants b/c i bought that for her... but i have been tryin to convince her about just a drop...well thanks alot guys |
|
Silver Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 260 Registered: Mar-06 | Hmmmm... Yeah.. I know that... ... And since it was reading SLOWER... I was goin' about 15mph OVER... GOT IT??? |
|
Silver Member Username: SkaUSA Post Number: 487 Registered: Jan-08 | "but no limit.. you do realize FWD has less drivetrain loss so lets say have to identical cars, power,gear ratio,tire size,ect .. only diff is one is FWD and the other RWD .. the FWD would be quicker" lets put it this way, if you have a FWD GTO and a RWD GTO. who will win in the 1/4 mile? RWD... better grip and better on the suspention. my friend has a supercharged celica (one of the gayest i've ever seen in my life) but when he "floors" it, the whole front end just bounces because of the weight transfer from the front to the back... yes FWD is cheaper to build along with cheaper to ship (how its cheaper to ship i have NFC) but it is... so i could atleast understand why imports are FWD, comming from across the ponds and what ever, for for "domestic" cars that are built in Canada and Mexico it really shouldn't matter... there are how many RWD domestic cars... GTO... Mustang... Vett... and i think thats it.. IDK if the pontiac G6 and solstice and saturn sky are RWD or not... but now how many RWD impots are there? Every lexus (excluding ES and RX) Every BMW s2000 supra 86 carola and TONS more. Domestics clame to be the "best" when they make the absolute SHITTIEST cars out... so i really don't understand their clame to fame |
