The original wheel size for the seventh-generation Accord is 215/60-R16. Below are some additional details: 1. Handling: The seventh-generation size is the most balanced, ensuring ample rear seat space while maintaining excellent handling flexibility. 2. Power: In terms of power output, the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder model delivers 156ps at 6,300rpm and 19.34kgm of torque at 4,300rpm. This version of the Accord 7 also features a 5-speed transmission. 3. Body structure: Front-engine, front-wheel drive, front double-wishbone independent suspension, rear multi-link independent suspension, unibody construction, and mechanical hydraulic power steering.
I recently replaced the wheels on my seventh-generation Accord and did a lot of research on the specs. The bolt pattern is 5×114.3, which refers to the diameter of the circle formed by the five lug nuts. The center bore diameter is 64.1 mm, and the factory wheel offset ranges from 45 to 50 mm. Common sizes include 15-inch, 16-inch, and 17-inch wheels. I've seen base models equipped with 15-inch wheels that are 6.5J wide, while higher trims use 17-inch wheels that are 7J wide. If you're upgrading your wheels, it's crucial to ensure the center bore size matches perfectly—otherwise, you'll experience vibrations at high speeds. Last time, I tried to save money by buying aftermarket wheels, and I had to use hub-centric rings to make them fit properly. When upsizing, you also need to consider tire compatibility. For example, 17-inch wheels are best paired with 215/50 tires to avoid rubbing against the fenders.
