My accord on 16's....wrong tire size though

READ FIRST: This is not my new rims, etc, just put them on for fun.


Just for anyone who is curious how smaller rims will look. I've noticed accouple people who wish they had lighter wheels, etc. This might give you an idea of how your car would look. I actually think it could look pretty good with the right sized tire.

Oh, for the record, here is how far off the tires are in size from stock, lol

I might be getting 16's

I'm getting 16" slipstreams..not sure on color yet. What size tires are those? I was thinking 215/50s

 

[talontsiawd]

Those tires are 205/50/r16. Way too small. In the second pic you can see how slanted the car is. I'd go with 225/50/r16's personally.


I just wanted to show how it looked. I thought they'd look way different. Instead of looking too small, it mostly just looks really aggressive. Not as clean as bigger wheels, more track ready. I wish i had some with the right tire size to check out.

it would look better with a bigger drop instead of pro kit.

Yeah or 55 sries tires like mines.

With a bigger drop they would look better but the tire size is what makes them not look right. It's over an inch off stock. My gap pretty much doubled. I think prokits would be fine with the right tire size.

Those wheels actually don't look that bad, yeah the tires are off like you said...but those are probably one of the few 16s i would sport...however i still prefer 18s over them haha

i have 16" rota slipstreams. for some reason everyone thinks they look like 17".

use that to calculate how much off from stock tires...you can also try to select the appropriate size that you should run to match as close to stock as possible.
