So with winter under way up here the cb is getting sum drastic transformation. With this I want WIDE wheels. Id love to find the widest 16 possible. All im finding is 8the and an occasional 9. Anybody seen 10"? No trollin on here, if you knew what im planning and trying you would be thinking the same. Any help would be awesome.

Are you planning on running flares? If not 8.5 - 9" should be sufficient, just run some lower offsets and negative camber if your are going for the "stance" look.
Search around on Nissan 240 forums, i think they rock crazy wide 16" wheels alot.1993 Accord LX - Sold
93 BMW 525it - SOLD
92 Accord EX Sedan - SOLD
2000 Accord Coupe - Traded-In
2003 Accord V6 6spd Coupe - Sold

For 9" wide wheels, the highest offset you can run is+42 (give or take 3mm)...Any higher than that, and your wheels would start hitting the knuckles..
For 9.5" wide wheels, you can't go any higher than +35 offset, and for 10" wide wheels, you can't run any higher than +29 offset.
If you plan on running 10" wide wheels all around, will you be doing this the proper way, or the ghetto way? By ghetto I mean ridiculous negative camber, and/or ridiculous tire stretch...If you're doing it the ghetto way, rolled and pulled fenders should be more than enough..But if you're actually doing this to make the car handle better, then you're going to need a lot of fender work! Keep in mind, 10" wide wheels at +29 offset, when compared to say a stock '96-spec ITR wheels (15x6", +50), or any other OEM wheels that fit the Accord, will stick out 70mm farther at the very least!
As for wheel options, I know that SSR and Work both carry 16" wheels that can be made 9" wide, and wider..I'd definitely pick those over Diamond Racing
Hope that helps!
