2002 ACCORD SE
Hi ive came across these wheels and i was wondering about the tyre size of them and would they be ok on an accord these are the wheels below
http://akinstiresnwheels.com/582-2/

they will have tyres on them 205/40/17 the car would have 2 adults and 2 kids in it most of the time and shopping etc,does anyone have these size tyres on there car
 
Check what tyres are on an Accord typeR as they come with 17's as standard and you dont want to get the rolling radius wrong. :)
 
Also remember the non Type R and V are 4 studs, so 5 stud wheels wont fit.
 
ok ive decided not to get the wheels, the tyres profile was to low,i think if i had the car loaded up and hit a pot hole id wreck the wheels and tyres, with the way the roads are over here its bound to happen,as i drive mostly on mountain roads,ill stick with the original alloy wheels for now :)

in regards to checking if your wheels will fit with the chosen tyres etc, try http://www.willtheyfit.com/ ive been using it recently myself to find some decent tyres/wheels for my car, just enter all your current wheel spec then enter your desired wheel spec. Also tells you speedo difference etc! :D :D
 
i've got the 5 spoke one on there.

(there's two wheels that they're showing... a 5 spoke and 6 spoke)
