wider tires on stock rims

[doojo0014]

is it possible to put wide tires on stock rims i need new tires but not the thin ones that came when i bought the car.

i want to put something a litte wider and lower?? kinda like low profiles but not so low. got me??

soul purpose is to ghet more traction

I wouldn't personally go more than 205 wide on a stock Accord wheel. If you have Prelude wheels, maybe 215.

Well I have the stock cd5s and 10th anni wheels.
Im running 195/55/15 up front and 205/55/15 in the back. It feels good.

Im not sure of the difference but I had stock 240sx steelies on my old accord with 225/50/15's up front and 205/50/15's in back and it was perfect. No rubbing or anything.

Now I wont go anything slimmer than a 205 and taller tha a 50, but thats just my personal preferance.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I believe stock steelies on a 40 are wider than Accord wheels. I could be wrong.

steelies are 14x5 which is why they run a 185 wide tire

yuck just stick to 195's if you're running less than a 6.5" or 7" wide wheel. your wheels/tires will look like they came off of a 4x4
