15442Im thinking about putting these on my car 8.5" in front 10" in the rear. What do yall think?

Those are nice, look similar to my all time favs the Work VARIANZA V5S :notworthy
If I had the money I would take those in the white coated/alum/silver trim :biggrin:...

They only come in black and chrome. Diamo DI-30

Research again my friend, they come in many other combos than that (especially the white which is by far the sickest) ... If that is your talking about the Work wheels, urs on the other hand I do not know but will take your word :thmsup:

I[']m thinking about putting these on my car 8.5" in front 10" in the rear. What do yall think?Just curious why you want to go w/ staggered-width wheels on a front-wheel-drive car? Is it for bling'factor, the ability to 'front that you got wide rubber on the rear, or what?

Are you aware of the drawbacks of such a setup on a vehicle, such as the Accord?

Let us know your thought-process/rationale` for such a setup, and we'll all try to guide you towards the most beneficial and cost-effective solution, while keeping your goals/desires in mind! :cool:

Honestly i just like those wheels for the look. Im not too sure about setup thats why im asking for feedback.

my sources say no :dunno:

Any suggestions on wheels? I dont want to compromise my ride.

Ok what about these? 15447

19x8.5 in the front 20x10 on the rear.

IMHO, avoid staggered-wheels (width & diameter) for your Accord.

From a post of mine many moons ago...


IMHO, when concerned w/ a non-performance oriented FWD vehicle... staggered-wheel setup is perhaps not necessary. I did read that you stated that it's for aesthetics/'looks'. You know that can simply add a 5mm/8mm spacer in the rear and get the wheel more flush w/ the fender!

Also, the much larger rear tires are relatively heavier. Combined w/ 20" wheels, you're gonna obviously notice diminished performance and perhaps even fuel economy.

I'm not keen on staggered setups for the very fact that you can't rotate the tires optimally, thereby practically getting a fraction of the treadlife you would get otherwise. And if the tires you select are uni-directional, you can't even swap them side-to-side to balance out camber wear. Not to mention larger tires w/ a lower profile cost a pretty penny, especially when you don't comparably get long treadlife.

Keep in mind, braking/handling/fuel-economy will goto the toilette w/ such a setup. Go w/ a quality set of wheels, not these boat-anchors w/ minimal QA/QC. Resale will be much better as well. Think of it as money in the bank w/ a quality set of wheels. Look at the classifieds sub-forum on this site, just about anyone who bought over-sized, generic/replica wheels took a bath on resale to the point that they couldn't keep themselves from crying because no one wanted them.

To get the right look, after-market spacers & proper-offset on a wheel can accomplish what a staggered-width wheel can, all w/o the negatives/shortcomings/compromise.

Do some research online, use the search on this forum, and gain an insight as to what to look for rather than to arbitrarily pick random wheels that look good w/o knowing what else to look for. For instance, staggered-diameter wheels are a no-no on the 8th gen' Accord (unless you're all show & no go, and your car will be parked on stage w/ scantily clad import models around it).

I think these are the ish 20x8.5 alltheway around.15448

Ok it will be these 15458 Or the KMC's in the picture above.

Cmon yall I need some feedback. If not for you guys I would have bought those staggered wheels yesterday. How does this look?15473 After I get my prokit they should sit real nice.

Ok it will be these 15458 Or the KMC's in the picture above.

This is the best wheel you showed so far. If I were you I would look into a mesh or 5 spoke with a polished lip. So far it seems you are on the right track.

I learned alot today about offsets and such. I did find a few more... So here we go.... 15479(Ace Deluxe Black) 15480(Qatar Black) 15481(TSW)

blkoutmcgee, now you're just randomly pickin' out some freaky stuff! Stop... :D

LOL. I like the TSW's or the KMC's.

+1 I like those ones bro... Good luck with em and post some pics when you get them on.

Ok I narrowed it down to these let me know. 15508 (TSW) 15507 (KMC) 15509 (Vente V59)

IMHO, keep lookin'! :D

When you're gonna be spendin' ~$2,500+ for a wheel/tire package, go w/ quality. . .

Give me an idea! Im stuck. Been looking for days now. This money is burning a hole in my pocket.

O.k., then let's break-it-down from square-one!

- Wheel budget?

- Desired size range (diameter/width)?

- Desired finish options (chrome or polished/brushed, painted/clear-coated, spokes color, polished lip, etc')?

- Desired style (# of spokes, split-spokes, mesh, concave, lip/deep-dish, mono-block, etc')?

- Particular makes/models (HRE, Volk, iForged, Advan, SSR, Giovanni, Asanti, replica/knockoffs, etc')?

- Added notes (weight, offset, multi-piece/one-piece, rivets, resale value)?


So, basically state your preferences, what all you're looking for, willing/unwilling to compromise w/ what, and so forth!

Ok, Im not very well versed in weight, offset, multi-piece etc.... I think I might also put out there that I have a direct hook-up with a distributor. So with that being said.. I can get those KMC's with tires for right around $1k. If you goto wheelpros.com That will pretty much give you an idea of whats available to me. I know off hand they carry Lexani, KMC, and Diamo.

I'm want to do 20x8.5 w/ 20x10 on the rear. I want my rear wheels to be flush with my fender. I really dont have a particular model. Just want something classy. Not to racey. I do like 5 spokes and mesh. i do want something with a lip, but I was told not to do staggered. The problem is i dont know the true definition of staggered. With all that being said.... What ever I get I dont want the wheels to compromise my ride. I do know If I put on 20's I will lose MPG.Help ya boy out.

I think these are hot!

I'm gonna check-out www.wheelpros.com to see if there's anything I- err' I mean, you will like! :D

Regarding, staggered... that's when not all (4) wheels are of the same size. Rear-wheel-drive (RWD) platforms need more traction in the rear, so they have wider rear wheels (staggered-width). Certain sports-cars/sports-coupes have unique suspension geometry/settings, so the front/rear wheel diameters may differ (staggered-diameter).

The Accord is a front-wheel-drive (FWD) w/ a front weight-bias (front-engine/transmission), so staggered-width wheels are useless unless you want to be able to tell people that you got meaty/big-@ss tires on the back or you have a sponsor for a show-car/etc'. The rear-wheel width & tires aren't even observable from the back as the rear-bumper skirt/apron tucks real low, therefore preventing full view of the rear-wheels/tires.

Also, larger/heavy wheels affect accel', handling/steering-response, and BRAKING. And when you get over-sized wheels that may stick-out too far, you'll likely have to roll your fenders to accommodate them & any potential rubbing.

Stick w/ non-staggered wheels, but get an aggressive offset for them, that'll tuck them right under the fender/wheel-well w/o being too far in. Also, you'll still have a nice lip, afterall we're talking about 8.5"+ wheels!

If a wheel that you really want doesn't come in an offset you want, get 5mm/8mm/10mm spacers, they'll do the job w/o compromising handling/safety. They'll also add to the aggressive-look (pushing the wheel even further out) 15mm/25mm spacers are where things get dicey (they often come w/ their own bolts and attach directly on the hub).

This is the look im going for. 15518 Dudes car is sick and its sitting so right! I really dont feel the wheels, but I do wanna do black but with a nice chrome or polished lip. He sitting on 19x8.5, 19x9.5(I want 20's).

ttt

Im putting these on 15567 should I do 20x8.5 or 20x10?

can i get some feedback on these wheelz?
