Question 19 inch Rims on a 1994 Honda Accord?

Sup folks! I got a 94 Honda Accord and I want to put some rime on and I want to go 19. Do you think that will be to big? If not give me some pointers on what kind to get, what size exactly and also what kind and size tires. And do you think it will be possible to drop? Keep in mind that I want to go with chrome rims. I thought that KMC Suicides looked preety good. Check out the pic

you can make it fit. personally i think its too big, unless you like the "hotwheels" look. i say go for 17 or 18's. it all depends on how much you wanna drop and if you wanna tuck or just get rid of fender gap. and unless you want terrible camber, correcting anything over a 2" drop will result in the arm banging the wheel well.

i think the wheels look ok but 19" is waaaaaaaaaay to big for your 94. stick with 17" so you have some extra rubber protection for the potholes, and won't break your back on the bumps.

Well really I don't want to drop it if it will mess something up. But I just wanted to know will it be ok to go 19? The pic that I showed was a 96 Accord and it looked ok on his and he dind't have any problem. Here is another pic

How much are wheels gunna run ya? Cause if I were to buy wheels like that, I'd have to go with Racing Hart CP-035Rs cause they have a nice lip. Plus I believe they are forged as well. That's a plus.

you gotta keep in mind DaTippsta that those 19s don't look huge cause he has a body kit on it and possibly a 1 to 1.5 inch drop. If you were to put those on a car that doesn't have a body kit and doesn't have a drop then you're gonna get the monster truck look.

If you were to use those 19s you could probably get away with a 1 to 1.5 inch drop, that would help a little.

Yea I thought the same thing. That 19s might make my car look big so I think I might just go with 18s to aviod all the trouble. Thanks for the info.

But do you think I should go with those rims or something else. And should I drop? if so how many inches

I honesltly think you should go with 17s, they're lighter and you can lower your car even more.

But if you really want to go with 18's then do it, those rims look pretty sweet. I'm not sure how much you'll be able to lower it without rubbing, that might be something you wanna post in the accord section. If I were you though I wouldn't go over a 2 inch drop, that way you don't have to worry quite as much as the camber.

And just a question, what's the weight of those wheels in 17s and 18s?
