[mraccent2000]

alright i have a 200 lc and i wanna get rims and ruber whats the bigest you can safley go what do you guys recoend nd how big of a problem is this captive rotor i hear about

[GreyGhost]

I used to have 17x7 rims with 205/40 tires. It looked great but the rubbing was too annoying! I sold those and purchased 16x7 rims with 205/40 tires. I haven't had any rubbing (I tried to in order to confirm this statement) and it still looks great! There is my $0.02!!

thanks ghost i guess ill go with 16s then cause if i lower and kit it i should get no rubing and a clen look

I have 16x7 also, with my car lowered, the rear still rubs. Will get rear guards lipped and all should be ok.

:smoking:Yeah 16*7 is perfect thats what i have now and when i get my body kit i will lower it and there wont be a problem.. However 17*7 will fit and with a little work and a bit of money they wont rub..

your 2000 does not have captive rotors so you will not have to worry about that.

yah i got 17*7 on my 97 accent right now.... thus the name... ive lowered my car to, the truth is, i cant have more than 2 or 3 ppl in my car without constantly hearing my tires rub, but it looks good.. it all depends on what ure goin for i guess...

I have 17X7 w/ 205/40 tires and I only have rubbing problems in the back. These were quickly and inexpensively fixed however by using a die grinder on the bolt housing on the inside of the wheel well. I believe the offset of the rims was either +42 or +43.

i swear a guy from my town has an accent on 18's i'll try to put up a picture of it. it almost looks funny, the car sits too high and it can't be lowered...

i know of two people that had 18's on accents but they were both 95-99 models. i wouldn't suggest 18's for a street driven accent at all.
