They will "fit" just fine. The 17's would be fine, but the 18's would need different tires as the stock ones are too tall and will throw off the speedometer too much, in addition to hampering acceleration. I am curious to see some as well. I particularly like the 17" 4-cyl EX Couple wheels.

1st Post...

I just ordered a new set from eBay this morning for my '03 EX Sedan. I'll post some pics once they show up.

Finally got these in! Only draw back is that my acceleration is now decreased...but that was to be expected.

I like the way they look, but now I think my car is in dire need of a drop! I was thinking of going with Tein Htechs (1.2in front and 0.7 rear) anyone have any other recommendations besides the Htechs?

I can't comment on the springs but I am curious how the car rides. What's the difference in the ride comfort?

It really doesn't look that bad honestly. - as far as height goes.

I hate it when you lower a car then the tire looks like its tucked under the fender. At most, there's a 1inch gap there.

The back looks funky cause the bumper points upwards which adds the the look of added height.

I really like the wheels though!

For a second there, I thought they were the 06-07 V6 wheels.

They seem to look better on the 7th gen than the 8th to me.

Me too

Ride comfort feels more solid. I don't notice much difference in cracks in the road, but when I hit a pot hole, that's when I really feel the difference and it of course hits much harder than with the stock tires. The steering wheel is also not as loose, which I like.

Looks great to me.

I actually think it looks good, i personally think i would maybe get some sort of a spoiler to compliment the sportyness of the wheels before you get to dropping it. Seems like a spoiler would add a nice touch. I just added one to my coupe and i think its like a different car.

Just to make sure I'm correct, 08' Coupe 17" wheels will fit an 03' Sedan EX-V6? I'm in the need for some new tires and might as well upgrade at the same time.

08' Coupe 17s as well as 18s like mine :biggrin:

Thank you.

badtzjp,

What size tires did you get/put on those 18"s? The reason I ask is that I've got a set of brand new dealer takeoffs with 235/45ZR18"s on them. I'm a tad worried about width on my 2003 Accord EX-L V6 Sedan. Hoping they'll work but if they don't I got them for a really good price.

Yup, mine are the same

235-45-18 or 225-45-18 will fit just fine and you will have no rubbing...unless you lower the car..

Just got my 2008 Accord Coupe wheels that were take-offs from E-Bay. It's dark out so these shots are from the garage. I will get some better shots as soon as it quits snowing. 17x7.5. 55 mm offset. These are my winter rims hence the meaty shoes...Hankook Winter I-Pike 215-55-17. They really look kewl when they are spinning down the road...!

More Pics

Looks good High! I like how honda decided to add a little more character to their rims for 08.

Thanks, some people don't like the rims on the coupe and I was one of them but I think on the Sedan it works well. I like the way they have some 3D to them and when they are rolling they look nice also.
