so by that you can even go 19's perfectly..... regarless of 17's or 18's you'll bend rims no matter what... doing 100 on a pothole with 15's with even dent... you just have to be cautious on what you drive on... 17's on a 6th gen accor dlike yours are way too small.. 18's are the bare minimums for that gen
trust me theres not a huge diff with 18's and 17's... so dont worry about neding your rims... take it from a guy who has riden on them both... and i can say this from experience as oppose to word of mouth....
i even has 19's too.. now that is rough

I dunno about potholes, but my bro hit a rough raise in the interstate when they were resurfacing (2-3 inches), he hit it somewhere between 80-90, completely mauled his ball joint for that wheel and screwed up some other things in the suspension (ended up needing some welding), but the wheel was fine. Racing Hart C5 18", '95 Accord coupe, coilovers, and I think 215/35/18, although I'm not sure on the wraps.
Anyhow....so 19" fit fine on the 6th gen sedans? That certainly brightens up my day....I'm debating between Tein or Tanabe coilovers or just getting some Eiback Pro Kits and maybe Koni Yellows, not going for any extreme drop....but I can run 19" on it?
Would I be limited to 215, or could I run up to 225?
