    What is my bolt pattern

    I need to know what my bolt pattern is, I tried the search but its not giving me what I need. I wanna put 17's on my accord but I need the pattern size first before I go buying.

    I may be wrong but I think they are 4x100 but not sure.

    I have a 86 Accord LX.

    Please help out.

    Thinkin of putting rims on this thing, buying a 95 Del Sol for 5k, or buying a 89 rex for $1800. Still haven't made up my mind.

    And if anyone can tell me the pattern for the del sol and rex so if I decide to get either one I'll know ahead of time.

    *edit*

    Almost forgot, I wanna lower the car too but I want the stiffest one. which brand is it that makes their springs and struts stiff. Im lookin at a 2" drop but 1.75" will do.

    4x100 is the bolt pattern for all of them.
    You should search through the FAQ section, there is a listing of spring and coilover stiffness there

    you want stiffest springs on the market?
    you are nuts. you will spend more money on getting struts to match the stiffness of your springs.
    read this so you can understand something about stiffness

    Ok rims for the 3g, but the lowering is for which, the 3g or one of the other 2 cars your thinking about?

    BTW, the stiffest springs possible and 17" rims would not be a good choice with only 1" of sidewall height on the road. I know 17" looks nice, but add a super stiff suspension and your going to regreat it. Not to mention the expense of revalving Bilsteins to make it remotely a decent driving car, let along on the can actually handle well.

    The stiffest known setup would be the skunk2 coilovers ment for the 90-97 accord, they will work on the car, one memer has them. At 560lbs front and rear, they are over the top for a street driven 3g and they will not drop the 3g very much like most coilovers will, would be around a 1.75" drop. BTW, stock spring rates are 211lbs front and 117lbs rear.

    Well, that's what I used to have, wrecked, 7/3/02.

    I don't want super stiffs, I just want it stiff enough that my car doesnt go bouncing crazy or being too loose if ya know what i mean. And although they do play a part in cornering, I just wanna cut around.

    The lowerong was meant for all of them, but thats part of the stiffnes thing too. Sorry if I said it wrong.

    Still tryin to make up my mind on what I wanna do between the three, I mean I'll still have the 3g no matter what. I royaly got this car to the point of no return. Would hate to give it up when I know I can make something of it.

    Ok, all the Honda's you listed have the same bolt pattern.

    Here is a list of spring stiffnesses.

    4x100 for ours but not all honda have the same pattern, i think it's the 5 gen accords have 4x125 and so do some ludes. i would just get universal 4 bolt pattern wheels like i have. then you don't have to worry about it and if you get something else that's a four bolt you can throw them on there as well if the patterns diff
    worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere
