is it hard to do the conversion, like did u have to get a 02-03 new hood? or is it just modifying the bumper to make it fit. im thinking about doing it too. but not sure.

New fenders, new bumper, new hood, new lights. (Well not new as in brand new but new to you. ) Not sure if there are any underlying parts you have to change.

When you slam your car or ride low enough running a stretched tire helps make sure the tire doesn't hit the fender and will go more towards the wheel well when you dip or when there is shock travel. This is also helpful when one runs an aggressive setup for example: 8.5 wide rims or more, or an aggressive offset, or if one runs spacers.

BTW, I am running 19 x 8.5 with a +45 offset and I am running a P225/35R19 slightly stretched.

*Note: I would't recommend tracking or driving aggressively on stretched tires as there is already a degree of stress on the sidewalls. There a a couple of threads in regards to this, so stretch at your own discretion.

yeah...thats why i really want to go with 225 35...my fenders are rolled and my bumper is cut...stock camber tho...i dont want to rub...i also dont want problems either with the tire popping of the bead or whatever hiiting a pothole or something,,,i dont drive aggressive....plus alot of places wont stretch that tire on a 9.5 wide wheel around here...thanks for the input

It does look like it, but it may be the picture that's making it seem like that.

Teasers FTL. Post some more pictures up

And the white wheels on the Accord are hot, but I can't imagine how often you have to clean those things.

i had them on my accord..

i wiped them down about once every few days.. and had to detail them 2 times a month or more to keep the break dust from yellowing the paint...

pain in the ASS!

I can't imagine how much time you spent cleaning them. But then again I bet they were sexy as hell
