What size rims on 92 Accord?
I'm going be be buying a 92 Accord (EX-R here in Canada) in about 2 weeks and I was wondering what size rims it comes with, I'm assuming it has 15", but I want to be sure. Also, what is the biggest size rim I can go with without the wheel rubbing, or causing any other problems?
Thanks guys.

well if youre gonna keep it stock height, you could probably go up to 19" or 20's if they make them. and if you are gonna lower them, stop at 18's. but id personally go with 16 or 17's. their size is more proportionate to the accord.

I would go with 16s cause it would be a smoother ride with less wheel weight. But 17s would also be fine.

american ex's that year come with 15's so i assume the canadian ex-r would have the same... as for rim size. you could go with 16's if your less concerned with how your car looks and just want a better road handling feel. or you could go for something more looks oriented and get 17's, just make sure your offsets are correct for your car. and 18's are possible but you sacrifce your ride quality greatly just for the look of it.

ok, I probably should I said that I plan on lowering it, probably only 1.5", maybe a bit more, depending on what kind of a price I can get on lowering springs.
If it came with 14's, then I'll probably only go to 16's, but if it came with 15's, then I'll probably go up to 17's. The roads up here aren't the greatest, so I'd probably bust a rim in no time if I went all the way up to 18's.

Maybe you guys drive on really crappy, and i mean crappy roads, but I've had 18's on my 4th gen forthe last year and a half, and I don't think that it gave me a "worse ride" than any other sized wheel iveh ad on there, Sure, when you get a bigger wheel and a smaller sidewall, of course it'll be a little stiffer, than a ballon tire, but as for me i am doing just fine, 18's are the way to go, and they don't look bad stuffed in the fender well. But hey, i guess this is just my opinion isnt't it?
