03 Accord rim offset?

does anyone know the offset for the 03 accord, 4 cyc sedan?

nope not a clue here

I know on my car('98), it is +42...

it's also got a 1.5 drop, I'm not sure if that will make a difference

heh if you get a drop the offset should be a bit more. i know on my car it needs some +40 +42 ofsset

thanks, that makes sense since you are setting the control arms further up than stock

I called a garage about having my car lined up after the drop, but they said if it was lined up before then it is fine now. I confused, I thought when you lowered your vehicle you messed up the camber and there fore needed an alingment????

Wait, is the car already lowered or not? If it's already lowered and already been aligned, I wouldn't think that you'd need an alignment (unless the car is pulling to one side or excess road noise). If you are doing the rims and drop at the same time, definately get the alignment. Otherwise, you'll eat through tires like crazy.

sorry, that first post sounds like its already lowered, the springs are going in by the end of the month and I was looking into if it will need an alignment afterwards and Pep Boys told me that if it was lined up before the springs went in (at stock height), then after dropping it 1.5 inches it will still be lined up. What they said doesn't make since to me. Do they guys know what they are talking about?

as for switching out my rims, I will need to align it just for changing from stock wheels? I'm assuming this is only if I change the overall diameter of the wheels from stock. I'm not buying the rims yet, since for what I want I will not have the cash for another month or so. I might even wait till after this winter.

winters sucks, I need to move

well it looks like pep boys have no clue on what they are talking about. your car is alinged fine and dandy at stock height. now if you lower it you will need to have it aligned. not only the camber changes during thedrop but the toe and front caster too (if it follows the design of the 90-97 accords with the radius rod). i can hook you up with a set of eibach springs for it for 225 shipped.

Also changing the wheels does not require the car to be aligned at all. you are not changing the geometry of the suspension and steering at all.

thanks for the spring offer, but I already order some. I'm just waiting like a kid on christmas for them to come in.

I may hit you up for a camber kit, if it's needed or whatever might be needed.
