Little red wagon

[Dsfaxon]

Hey guys. New car means new build thread!

Just picked up this 1995 honda accord wagon
Its got 156000 miles
Automatic
F22b1 motor

Its been repainted by the old owner. Its now red with metallic flakes.
Previous owner also put air struts on it.


As nice as it looks, it has problems. All the wiring/airlines will be stripped out an reaced/rerouted.

Here is my starting point

All up:


All down:

Needs tint and wheels


I would tint the rear windows tho. I'm not a fan of fishbowl wagons.

[Dsfaxon]

I have a 3 year old, so it will definatly be tinted!

As for wheels, ive been playing around with the idea of tuck vs. poke.

I test fit some 17x7.5 +40, with 215/40/17 tires today.

Is it just me or do they look small?

(sorry for the shitty pictures. I only fit the rear one on.








Honestly, im thinking that something like the xxr 527's, 18x9.5 would be the best option.

Any opinions? Im not spending a ton of money on wheels... So dont give me that work, bbs, ccw shit.

Fishbowl wagons are awesome But this accord looks like it was made to be tinted unless it had a more metallic paint like

That blacedan with the 17's was one of the main reasons i wanted to get an
Accord!!!! I love that car! It pulls off 17's like a boss.

[Dsfaxon]

im thinking about getting these... since they dont offer them in 4x114 for 18's.. id have to swap to 5 lug.

[244Brick]

He wants them in 18s the biggest size in 4x 114 is 17x9.75

[milano_red]

Those are nice wheels. Regardless of xxr or not

[Dsfaxon]

yes. if i wanted to get the 18x9.75 id have to do a 5 lug conversion. so now i think im going to just settle for the 17's. =/

also. valves are being shipped out today. =]

[Nick475]

17's should still look good

5X114.3 adapters? Way more options for big wheels in the long run!
