factory size is 185, will 225's fit?

[Accord_Beater]

Just wondering,
was looking at some 16's someone was selling, and they're wrapped in a 225/50r16 rubber. Does anyone know if that size would fit on an 88 Accord LX 4 door?

Check this thread.. I think their just a little too big, but you should try PMing jim and see what he thinks... he's the tire/wheel guru around here
Good luck man - nice to see another canuck on here!

Just to let you know, i use 215/45/r17 and no rubbing at all.
Hope that helps.

all tires works!!!! you just need to add spacers!! just be sure rims are 4 x100 pattern!!!

by adding spacers, the rim will stick out of the fender and not look flush with the body. It fits and all, but I don't think it's that good looking.

Wow please do some research and dont believe everything you here. All the spacer is gonna do is make you the fenders. And to answer the ? I had 225 with 17'' rims and when I took my car off the jack it would barlely move because it was rubbing so bad.

Goto tirerack.com they list the specs for tires and see what the height and width is. I run 205/50/15 on a 7 inch rim and I do ok. I run the rear suspension dead soft so the would rub a little at full compression. I eneded up cheating a little and putting in coil spacers (rubbers) in the rear. I think an otherwise stock car you would be fine.

My bad to my car is lowerd. But either way it was rubing on the control arm. 205 is the max I go now

[HondaBoy]

i'd say 215 width is the biggest to go with. i'd reccommend 205 though on any rim size. so, how much are those rims going for? if they are fairly cheap, go for em. you could get tires later if need be. do make sure the bolt pattern is 4x100 and the offset isnt too close, 40mm is stock.

[Accord_Beater]

well, he was selling them for $400 obo with the rubber (thats in canadian dollar).
the rims look like they're a universal 4 bolt, but the guy said they're only 4x114.3 (and i cant see a company making 8 holes, without making it universal?)

[Accord_Beater]

here's a pic of them....
but if they are actually 4x114.3, then im outta luck anyways.

[Justin86]

225/50 is too tall 225/45 you can squeeze in depending on offset and drop. 215/ 45 is your best bet. look here for more info......... http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

Too bad you guys dont use 114.3x4 bolt patterns or you could of used S13 wheels theyre 15s but come with 205 rubber stock and They can be gotten for pretty damn cheap like 20 bucks a wheel.

If you can find a vid of my car the rims on it. I can give to you for $400 canadian with rubber. They are 17" rims. Two of the rubber have 95% left the other 2 have about 70%. Oh and Im 90& sure those will fit.
