    Default Fitment Question

    I have a 1995 honda accord coupe. I wonder if 17X8 Wheels with a 35 offset would be pushing it, or if i should stick with 17X7 with a 40 offset and attempt wheel spacers. im still learning about fitment and all so any comments or advice would be great.... Reps....

    depending on the offset, but id do 17x8 , 8" wheels doesnt seem too much of a task on a accord.. the offset is gonna make or break it tho.

    offset is kind of high, but im not familiar with the fitment on the accord, i think gabes kind of low, but he has 16s. what kind of wheel is it?

    you may need to get a cambe rkit to be safe, but with that 16x8 and a 35 offset i dont see that being too hard to fit, the question is will it be enough!

    i think 17 would be better for an accord, if your trying to get it flush thats what i mean by enough.. or you just want it to be good enough

    yea you can, but if your gonna buy them new id go for the 17x9 ones.. the money u spend on spacer, you can spend that on a wider wheel!

    NO LOL. I would lower it first then check the fitment first, cuz lowering your ride you will see the difference in room you will get then purchase the rim. Going w/ a 8" rim would just increase the weight, you could basically run the same width tire on a 7" to 8" tire unless you have a RWD car and wanting to run fatties in the back lol which in an Accord you dont have that option. I would lower your car first then upgrade the rims second.
