Accord Euro stock rim size.

[Slugoid]

Yeah, they're AUSDM ones...damn.

I though AUSDM and JDM DC2R have the same rims...well they sure looks the same.

[yfin]

I just found a set of DC2R rims for sale...just wondering if they will fit the Euro.

15" is a little small for the Euro. The DC5 is 16" and fits - I have seen the DC5R rims on a Euro - they look much better than the stock Euro rims.

[baboo]

yeah, I'm thinking of getting a set of 16" DC5 rims for track use.

The offset of the DC5R rim is +45. perfect fit.

Just thought I would add some info about the PCD of the OEM wheels, it is 5 x 114.3

[Slugoid]

Thanx for that. Took me a while to find that out, cos I somehow figured that the CL7 (Accord Euro-R) also has the same PCD as well.

Just to add my 2 bobs worth, the original tyres and rims are
205/55/16 overall tyre diameter of 631.9mm 5 stud 114.3mm pcd.
offset of +55mm . original rims 16x6.5JJ ET55 (ET = +ve.)
I have put on 18" x7.5" rims G-Max E920 10 spoke +42mm offset machined lip high silver Rims on mine (see Gallery)
Fitted with a 225/40/18 overall tire diameter of 637.2mm
Therefore an increase of only 5.3mm ,not much to worry about .
The 225's at 42mm +ve offset means the tyre stick out 23mm more than original.
Looks good next to the slightly flarred guards of the Euro.
Next I will have to lower the car 22 to 35mm.
225/40/18 tyres are expensive comparred to the run of the mill massed produced low profile tyres.
Some Euros install 235/40/18's cheaper tyre to get and a better range of manufactures giving specials for that size .
235/40 is an overall tyre diameter of 645.2mm
An increase of 13.3mm ,can look too large ,especailly if you don't lower the car. But not a huge increase and is within leagal limit of increased diameter above standard issue.
The 235 wide tire at 42mm offset is also just legal and is almost flush with the guards.
The 235 can go on 7.5" rims but have seen them on 18x8's .
More selection of 18x8" with 5 studs at 114.3mm pcd than the 18x7.5's.
The 235/40/18 tyre is a popular Holden (Apollo) AU Falcon tyre on some models.
The 5 stud 114.3 42 offset 17 and 18 rims are the same as AU Falcons so once again an easy rim to get on the secondhand market, that's if you like what is available for Falcon on a Honda (not!!)
When my 225's wear out I will probably put on 235/40's ,slightly larger in dia ,but will get a slightly softer ride back and still look great and a better track.

This is what I like, got a quote for $2,000 delivered to my door for a set of 4 18" mags with tyres. Just waiting for spare cash.

Try tempe tyres as well, they are really cheap as well.

Great looking wheels on the Ozzy tyre site you quoted almost the exact same as GieMax E920's 10 spoke high sliver etc.
I picked up the 18x7.5 GieMax's for $396 each pick up some good secondhand 225/40/18 " tyres for $100 ea & fitted and balanced and new chrome nuts and fitting tool for $1986
Another good rim is the Concept 9's 18x7.5 9 spoke shadow chrome ,not sure what the make or supplier is. "Tyre Power" have them.

I haven't got the mags yet, I might have to sell the Euro.........

I don't mind ozzytyres, they seem to have good deals. The mags that I wanted cost about $1300 per rim. Volk racing forged mag progressive spoke's

Stock offset is +55.Be careful changing the offset greatly - I am told it puts a lot of strain on wheel bearings and suspension components. Changing the offset so greatly can also impact handling.

[Lacrosse19]

Simple question, what's the size of the stock rims for the Euro??

I think they are 16X6.5, but no idea about offset and spacing. The reason I ask is that I'm looking for a set a new rims for the Euro, and want to know what size rims will fit it. I'm after a 17" rim, and I think 17X7 will fit, it not sure.

They are 16"x 6 1/2" JJ 55+ve offset

man thats expensive....i got 18x8 bsa 291 shadow chrome with 225/40/18 tyres all new for $1550

Yfin is right about changing the offset greatly as it will cause undue stress on your bearings and suspension components.

Remember, when we're talking about offsets, we're talking about how far in/out from the centre of the wheel the mounting point is.

If you're going for a wider wheel, a +55 offset on a 7.5in wide wheel will have a wider paw print than a +55 offset on a 6.5in wide wheel. The outer edge of the wheel will actually sit 13mm further out, and you'll find that the inner edge of the wheel will actually have 13mm less clearance from the strut housing i.e inner edge of the wheel moves further in. Therefore the whole paw print moves evenly out and in 13mm. If the 7.5in wide wheel had a +42 offset, the outer edge of the wheel would sit 26mm out compared to the 6.5in wheel, and the distance from the strut housing to the inner edge of your wheel would be the same as the 6.5in +55 wheel. Therefore the paw print extends outward 26mm, but not inward at all.

The ideal scenario is one where if increasing your wheel width, both the outer and inner edge increase evenly either side of the standard wheel, therefore maintaining a balance as close to standard as possible. The best way to do this is to stick with the same offest as standard no matter what width of wheel you use, however at the same time you have to ensure that the inner side of the wheel will clear the strut housing (if not you may have to go for a slightly lower offset to clear it). This combination in addition to finding a style that you like can be difficult to find, but in the end you'll be happier with how the car handles/grips and you'll be minimising the increase of wear on your suspension.

Hope this clears some things up for anyone still a bit confused
