umm, probably wouldnt want to go smaller than 14" if you do you'll probably run into the rim not fitting around the rotor/calipers. -
yeah, thats what im wondering, i am also wondering what other parts i can insatall to get better MPG, i heard you can change the intake manifold? anything else?1993 CB7 lx Coupe

I've seen CRX w/13s and slicks at autox - but that probably doesn't help. I remember the clearance on my stock wheels wasn't that much - 14 is probably the limit93 EX Arcadia Coupe, 5spd, f22a6, strut bars, 2"drop, baer brakes, ingalls camber kit, tokicos w/ eibach, K&N, 205s / 16sComment

lol, use the search for some of this, there are TONS of write ups.
intake, headers, catback. Plenum from an a6 or h22/h23, runners from an a6, pt6 ecu, check tire pressure, seafoam, driving style, etc.
further, smaller wheels will help in sub 15mph or so. If you cruise on highway for a long time, larger wheels will be beneficial. I have 14's and 16's.Comment

yeah i know the search about MPG, but im more interested in VX wheels fitting on my accord, i too have 14in steelies and 16 inchers with snow tires, but the VX wheels weigh like 11 lbs so i think it would boost my MPG a bit, and there cheap and there local1993 CB7 lx Coupe

Your going to waste more gas, Smaller+Higher RPM= More gaswat?Comment

your not going to get any better mpg with a smaller wheel/ tire combo just because they are lighter. smaller wheel means it has to spin more to go the same speed meaning more rpms nessassary and thus worse gas mileage.

Any wheel smaller than 14'' will not fit over stock cb7 brakes. On top of that Civic wheels = 4x100
Accord wheels = 4x114.3Gary A.K.A. Carter
