legal size on rims

[Nervegas]

what would be the highest legal size on rims for the '95 accord exi? i don't quiet understand all the tyre sizes, bar inches of the rim. i'm looking at probably 17-18 inche rims however not sure of all the other specs. any help would be greatfull

[bumthology]

eg. for tyre size..

215/35/R18

215 = 215mm the width of the tyre..
35 = 35 profile (35% of 215..)
R18 = 18 inches..
my mate has 18's on his accord, u legally can go 2inches up from standard.. i think, not sure about your state, however u can go up any size really if they're engineered
=P

It all depends on the rules for your state. For example in NSW i think they can only go up 2" in rim size. In the ACT, we can go up 15% greater than standard diameter (which makes 18's easily legal).

Best to check with the QLD RTA, unless a QLD member here knows the exact rules

in NSW its 2in bigger, however the Accord being such a big car, the cops usually dont care bout them if u whack 18's on

ur real worry is ur insurance company....

[Nervegas]

i've already spoken with the insurance mob and it's all good for me to put bigger rims on, just gotta find out the laws/regulations for QLD

[Calvo]

call the RTA up there then.

[A'PEXi]

just get it engineered and it will b legal? :P

[EuroAccord13]

Most insurance agencies won't allow the width to be more than 7 inches across irregardless of rim size..

I think only Just Cars allow wider rims... Best to look for a broker who can find you the best deals while u kick back and relaxxxxx....

CHEERS

so essentially, no more then 7' across the tire, how bout the rim? i'm in debate of whether or not to go 17 or 18'. most will prob say the bigger the better, but i'm a bit weary of over doing it
anyone got some pics of 17' on the accord i can have a quick squize at

There's some real crazy ass ugly shit as well though.

Or just browse some of the US honda forums - loads of accords on 17's.

i rang up the qld rta the other day just to get som info
in qld the outside diameter of the tire is not allowed 15mm over or 26mm under stadard - so you can fit 18's leagally with 35 profile
which brings it 6mm under standard so it will sit 6 mil lower-
40 profile worked out 16mm over which ment they were illigal by 1mm..
