6th gen Accord sitting on 18" with OEM suspension, pics?
Anybody got a pic of a 6th gen Accord, preferably sedan, sitting on 18" wheels without any lowering? I'm curious just how bad it'll look, if not too bad then I may grab me some wheels/tires long before I redo the suspension....if too bad, then I won't get anything for a while.

I don't have pics, but I've seen them, and it looks really jacked up on 18s.

i saw a stock accord on 18's.....dont have the pic anymore, looked "ok". imo, swap on the 18's and lower at the same time or already have it lowered a bit. looks DIESEL that way

Hmmm....problem is I don't exactly have the ~$2500 right now to do it all, and I may never really have it to spend. About 1500 for wheels + wraps and another 800 for shocks/springs, or almost 1000 for the Teins.....that's a lot of money considering I'm about to be spending an extra $360/month for my new place over what I pay now, and still need things like vacuum, w/d, tv, dvd, etc. etc. etc.
I hate to say it, but I'm not even sure it's worth doing anything else to my car at this point.....I really want a much nicer car already, and I'm hoping in a few years I can afford one. How about 17" at stock height??? I guess I could save $500 by just getting Pro-kits and not updating the shocks......and maybe buy cheaper wheels, or going 17" will save me a little money here and there. b |

prokit is expensive - get some 17's and H&R/Neuspeed SPORT springs. its like a 1.5" drop, rides perfectly fine on stock shocks for A LONG TIME.

It shouldn't look that bad sitting on 18's without being lowered but of course it won't look as good. If I were you, I would just wait until you can do everything at the same time (i.e. rims/tire and drop)...just my opinion....

I dunno....I dropped mine at the same time I put the rims on so I really can't remember but I know my friend put 17's on his Civic and didn't look bad, just looked like it needed to be lowered........

Maybe I'll just get 17" with some Pro-kits and ditch the idea of shocks for a while. How many peeps have ended up needing camber kits with the Pro-kits?
I want the RH C3's, though, which are expensive compared to other wheels...... b |

You probably won't need a camber kit with the pro-kits.
