215/45 Tires - Wheels 18 x 7.5

CT Engineering's RSB is awesome, great choice. I sold the CL-S wheels last year to Evan (ejreams). I think he is getting another car though, so he may sell them to you if you ask.

cons: your car will look ****ing disgusting with a fist worth of wheel gap in the front

Hi all,

I have OEM tires and wheels 205/65 - 15"x6.5 on my V6 Sedan 2002.

Sorry car is not lowered.

I would like to know the pros and cons from changing stock to these wheels & Rims. Handling would increase but how bad will the ride be, etc.

Thanks.

I went through the exact same scenario as you -- plus-sizing from 205/65 - 15"x6.5 on a V6 6thgen sedan (although mine's an '00). You'll see plenty of 6th gen sedans modded on lower-offset wheels, but they are mostly the 4 cylinder Accords. The V6 Accords were OEM'd with higher offset wheels than the 4cyls. Check out the chart I'm linking.

Anyways, LSMS, the +40 offset wheels I got were to pokey. In other words, the tires stuck outside the fender. After proper alignment, the car still drove great - but still it was just ugly. I really needed another 7 or 8 mm of "tuck in", meaning I should have gone with minimum of +47 or +48 offset.

But hey that's just me. May be D1scountt1re slipped in a spacer or something without me knowing it. But if you are still in the planning phase here, I'd try to make sure the advice you are hearing is filtered between V6 models and 4cyl model - be wary of implementing 4cyl advice on your V6.

I plundered this chart showing offsets from a thread in driveaccord:
