Prelude 94-96 Blades on 2001 Accord EX coupe 4 cylinder???

Meanstreet · Aug 27, 2014

I recently bought a black 2001 Accord EX coupe 4 cylinder, I have some Prelude 94-96 blades with winter tires (195/60 R15) that I am thinking about putting on. I know they will fit, but was wondering if anybody has seen that combo yet?

I know 195/65 R15 is the stock size for the Accord, was wondering if 195/60 R15 is would cause problems in winter?

No. Small sidewall difference, may affect speedo/odo but not by much.

I don't see why it would cause any problems. You should be fine

I'm curious to see what it would look like. Post pics

I will post pics probably during October or November when it starts to snow. I may even plastidip them another color, but silver rims on black Accord with chrome trim should look pretty good already. I seen the rims on older gen 4x114 Accords before, but was surprised I couldn't find any on 6th gens when doing image searches.

After some searching I found a green coupe with the 94-96 Prelude rims

That's what I was wondering about if it would affect drivability much cause my winter tires are 195/60 r15

If you read this guys thread he is running 205/50R15 on those blades. You said your tires are 195/60R15 vs the stock 195/65R15. The 65 series (stock) vs 60 series makes less than one inch difference in total diameter between the two and you probably won't notice a difference. However, your speedo will read faster than actual vehicle speed but not by much. 65mph shown on your speedo would translate to about 63mph actual vehicle speed with the 60 series tires.
