Accord Euro Compatible Rim Limits.

[Crapdaz]

Hi All,

Sorry to bring up an old thread and all but been searching and i havent found an answer.

I was wondering what is the maximum limit size (size/width/offset) on rims that an accord euro can accomodate without rolling your guards?

ATM my ideal sized rims i was thinking of were 18x8.5 (+48) running on 225/40/18 tyres

Otherwise i would be going for 18x7.5 (+48) running on 225/40/18 tyres (<---- is that tyre size suitable for a 18x7.5?????)

Are there any problems with that? Please give me your opinion.
Many thanks to you ALL!!!
Daz

Also to include, I do not want to lose performance due to oversized rims.

What is your budget? If you want to keep the overall weight including tyres the same with going to 18" you are going to need to look at light weight rims - eg forged rims.

As for the rim size - why do you see 8.5" as ideal? 225/40/18 fits on 7.5", 8 and 8.5".

18" will kill performance unless you have very expensive lightweight forged rims.

<P>yfin - Well since im a noob i was thinking wider tyres would help partly with good handling. Correct me if i am wrong.</P>
<P>But also the sizes of&nbsp;7.5 or 8.5 as they are the sizes that are available for that particular rim. </P>

18s will look real funny on a euro, u gota go 20s and slam it 225 are good enough on a euro as for the offset +45 id say

18s look sexy on the euro.... i must admit, 19s are the perfect size for it, fill the guards nicely... but 20s!? no way dude! way to big for the euro, does not suit it at all! and euros look terrible slammed, 2-3" drop is perfect, sexify!

but considering he doesnt want to stuff up performance, id say lightweight 17s and lower maybe 1-2"...

[acool]

it will be sexy if u put 20inc deepdish chrome wheel,but it will kill performance

I reckon stay with 17s and just get wider rims.
Say 17x7.5 or 17x8s..

Otherwise like sodaz said unless if you get light weight wheels which will cost you an arm and a leg..

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES.

Just one thing, if i am changing the brake calipers.

How do i know if i am going to clear the brake calipers? Does that cause the offset to vary from its original 45-55

I think i am definite with 18x7.5 and run 225/40/18.
