This is the first time I see two bolt patterns on the wheel. Yes, these wheels will fit your Accord

 

[RyanAccord]

This. You'll have plenty of clearance.

It's called a universal bolt pattern :thmsup:


and yes, OP, many choose to plastidip their wheels as it can be removed if you grow tired of it. Do a search for it and you'll see many results. G'luck!

Nice.

Thanks D.A. ! ... I appreciate the input.

I have a set of Universals on my car right now. They are excellent.

Plasti-dip is amazing. Saves your wheels in the winter from salty roads. Wish I would have kept it on mine. Paying the price now. :facepalm:

Both sets of wheels are going to look smaller than they actually are. IMHO I don't like either one.

These ALWAYS look good.

ha ha... i saw those too. i wondered if those 8th gen wheels would fit. those are definitely nice and would reserve that classy look.

thanks for the input.

 

[RyanAccord]

wait...

with a second look i realize those are 7th gen. (or 7.5 gen. lol )

so those will fit great. in fact i almost bought an 07 SE with those rims before i got a great deal on my 04. I really liked the look. :thmsup:

OEM is always better than "cheap" aftermarket wheels.:thmsup:

wow ben. thats a great comparison.

Dual bolt pattern is common. However, 215/45-17 is smaller than the original overall circumference size of 215/50-17. You will have larger wheel gaps and your odometer and speed will be off. The 40 offset is also on the low side. If you aren't planning on lowering your car, then you won't rub the fenders. If you are planning on lowering later then you will/might rub.

thanks for the info.

i will not be lowering. but i would like to keep the wheel/tire as close to the original diameter as possible.

They're pretty rare to find OEM ones in good shape with a good set of tires. I really lucked out by buying my set off of Val. You could always order them brand new off of HubCap Haven for $170/wheel. The only problem is, then you have to buy tires.
