Accord Euro stock rim size.

[euro77]

use the tyre calculator to calculate what's the best size going up from 16" to 17" to keep your speedo reading as accurate as possible.

Example of tyre calculator : http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

There are heaps other tyre calculators out there

rule of thumb, if going up 1" in rim size, increase the width of the tyre by 20, and reduce the profile of the tyre by 10. So if original spec is 205/55R16, going to 17 you should use 225/45R17.

Awsome, just what i'm planning on getting. Thanks a lot for all the info euro77.

[euro77]

No worries.

Oh, don't forget that the width of the tyres depend on the width of the rim as well, as in you can't fit tyres that are too wide for the rims. For 225, recommended is 7.5" - 9" rim width. So it's not advisable to put 225 on a 17x7" rims.

Oh really? The stock euro lux rims are 17 x 7.0 JJ with 225/45 R17 tyres? Should i be looking at different size tyres then to run on a 7" width rim

[euro77]

Hmm.. you're right then, 225 would be fine. I was just following the rim width calculator on http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg2.html

Would a set of BBS RG-R fit in the following sizes?

18x7.5 +45 - 215 Goodyear RE-02's
18x8.5 +49 - 225 Goodyear RE-02's

[Crapdaz]

18x7.5 +45 - 215 Goodyear RE-02's <-- yes
18x8.5 +49 - 225 Goodyear RE-02's <-- yes, may scrub in full turn
also i am guessing your running profile 40 right?

[ludecrs]

yes.

215/40/18
225/40/18

I didn't think the rears would scrub in a turn?

[Crapdaz]

yes.

215/40/18
225/40/18

I didn't think the rears would scrub in a turn?

no i meant the front, rear is fine.

[JunYu]

I doubt the front would scrub considering that it's 7.5 wide. Also using 215.

[Crapdaz]

well he mentioned two sizes.
and depending on how low he is lowering the car.

[akina]

if its stock height or not a fully sick drop then there is no way its gonna scrub
