Hey all I was wondering if a 17x7, +55, 5x114.3 wheel will fit the 04 ep3? They are wheels off of an Accord type r.

If not then RSX type-s rims will correct? I remember seeing a picture around here of someone on type-s rims.

the accord wheels will "fit" but the offset is so high that they will appear to be sunk in. the 05 type-s wheels are the same specs just with a +45 offset which is our stock offset. so those will look best imo.. any year type-s will fit though. just the older ones are 16's

thanks! For some reason I thought +offset would make the wheels stick out farther, good thing I asked first :p

I guess the search is on for some type-s wheels then.

haha, don't trip. lots of people make that assumption. use this tool to calculate how the wheels will sit compared to your stockies (16x6.5 +45). i use it all the time..

You are wrong my friend. They actually do exist but only sold in Europe. They were sold from 1998-2003 and came with the H22A engine.
