        I would say 15's if you want to get rid of your 17's. Personally I think that 17's look the best on our cars cause 15's just seem too small and with a good drop you will have very, and i mean very little ground clearence. Good thing about 15's is the price is really good for rims and tires, probably better then 16's seeing 15's are more universal in size.

              i think 16/17 are the biggest u should go with a stock body. save the 18"s for cb7s w/ lip kits

                  See i think that 18's are to big tho.. im thinking along the lines of some Rota GT3 replica's with a 2.25" drop.. like the red ones with the polished lip.. or the Gunmetal with polished lip..

                      IMO 17" looks and performs the best. it's not too heavy and there is enough tire to prevent dents (never go 205/40/17 tires on accords!) and provide less sidewall flex. 15/16" wheels are for civic/integras with 4x100 . 18" is just for show/looks. it all depends on your application!

                          I was rolling around with a 205/40r17 for the longest never really had major problems. 15/16 on a civic/integra is prefect, 17 is just as good. my 18s are lighter then my 17s, so 18s are NOT just for show/looks. i did auto-x last yr with 215/35wr18. 18s arent just for show/looks. are they?

                              18' aren't just for look. They are perfect for cb7. Plus if U go 225/35-18, it exactly equals 185/70-14 and 195/60-15 in height and diameter. Therfore, no worry about speedometer misreading.
                              IMO, kitted accords should go with 19's because the body of the car is bigger.
