Would these fit my stock wheels on my accord or would i have to get bigger tires?

they wont fit... you seem to know very little about cars. they say 14 inch. that means they are for 14 inch wheels. not ur 13's.

Damn dude... Chill already. FYI, they will fit our rims on the 14" lx-i's with new lug nuts.

yea you need 13's ..those would look nice on the 3g i think...

**87accord** · 11-21-2002, 08:14 PM

The stock 13 inch wheels are so wimpy and small awwwwww i hate my dx should have got a lxi but when i first got it i didt know shit about cars and stuff and i didt really care. damit

The stock rim sizes for the 3G Accords are as follows:

DX/LX: 13"
LXi/SEi: 14"

However, the lug spacing on all models is the same.

Those hubcaps will not fit your car unless you get yourself a set of stock LXi rims (SEi rims are custom aluminum alloys). The lugnut pattern on the 5G Civic and 3G Accord is identical. The only drawback to placing the LXi rims on your DX is it will throw your speedo off.

I know this because I am using the stock rims from my 3G (with new rubber) on my 2000 Civic, using the Civic hubcaps.

You take some steelies off an 88- 89 LX-i coupe or HB (they had hubcaps AND were 14").
You put those Civic Hubcaps on said steelies
The Accord lugnuts stick out too far
You buy new lugnuts for Civic steelies
You put these new lugnuts on the Accord 14" steelies with Civic hubcaps
ROLL OUT!!

He would have to get a set of 14" steelies, but it can be done.

My friend has this setup. Now, who knows about cars and who is full of sh*t??? HOLLA!

damn guys settle down

..... 87accord save up for some 16's or 17's

I believe that all Hondas with four lugs started using a different bolt pattern in 1990?

If that is the case the hubcaps above will not even fit the 14" wheels on an LXi.

I went to the trouble of repainting my wheelcovers twice and the paint still peeled. Muct be something about the kind of plastic Honda uses. I went with cheap hubcaps from Target for a while and then got a set of cheap ($65 each) Z-Racing alloys.

**87accordlxi** · 11-22-2002, 12:04 PM

i think there's some confusion over what size the stock wheels are.

86-87's had 13" wheels no matter what trim level. DX/LX had steelies, LXi had alloys

88-89 DX/LX had 13", LXi/SEi had 14" wheels

**DBMaster** · 11-22-2002, 12:19 PM

But, I think in all cases the bolt pattern is different from 90 and later Honda vehicles.

I am not 100% sure of that. I do know it is true of Accords.

**offthahook** · 11-22-2002, 04:59 PM

Civic bolt pattern is the same as ours (4x100) through like 2000. It's true! You can put 14" or 13" rims from a Civic on your 3G if you want... I know 88-91 Ludes also use 4x100 spacing as well. Some Integras use 4x100 spacing, too.
