Re: hondatech03's 2000 Accord EX V6 (56k will crash)
Try to go a little wider and lower offset... 17x8 et40 should look good and perform great too. There's a "will it fit" thread you should check out.
As for tires I'm planning on getting Continental Contisport Extreme DW 17 45 245 ... I'm not sure it'll clear yet. I want to run TL 17x8 wheels... basically a cheaper version of the wheels above. On top of that I'll have my 4 piston bbk with 12.8 inch rotors on the car soon, they clear the TL wheels by a hair lol. 20 mm rear sway bar should help eliminate the floaty feel.
Still unsure about shocks/springs or coilovers...
Going to watch autox tomorrow in Long Island, NY, with a buddy who has a WRX auto... we raced from 5mph and were dead even up to 80mph. We both plan on entering sometime this summer.
edit: Awesome day today... I'm definitely going to try to sign up.
