Dude...your speedo is definitely off. By more than 10%. I don't care what radar gun you may or may not have used, the laws of physics don't lie, thats why they are laws. Observe:

Your stock tire, 1995 SC400: 225/55/16
Your new tire: 215/35/17


New tire is MUCH smaller than your old one, creating a higher reading in your speedometer than your true speed. When your speedo reads 100mph, you are actually travelling 89.1 mph.

Stock tire revs/mi = 783
new tire revs/mi = 880

(783 - 880)/880 = ~11% decrease in actual speed vs. speedometer reading = speedo reads ~11% too fast.


I, like someone else mentioned, am also curious how tires that THIN are holding up the SCs weight without completely ruining ride quality and being an extreme hazard...paper thin sidewall on rims that cant possibly be more than 7.5 inches wide on a boat, i would be scared lol

I second that, APEXi's are engraved.

I'm certain that the V6 accords are 5 lugged also.

having NO LIP is ok, if the rims look good. My rims don't have much if any lip, and I love them to death.


(this picture is also for those people who think 17" rims don't work AT ALL on the SC...I'm rockin 17s )


Of course they look nothing like the OPs rims lol

np20412

They don't, see below

Honda S2000 = 5x114.3
Honda Accord V-6 = 5x114.3
2002+ Civic Si/Hatchback ( i see those rims fitting on this car most vividly) = 5x114.3
97-01 Prelude = 5x114.3
CR-V = 5x114.3
Odyssey = 5x114.3

SC300/400 = 5x114.3

so not ALL hondas as you confidently said are 4 bolt patterns.

Sorry kid but those wheels are weak...ugly even. I'm not here to bag on you but those are NOT the wheels for an SC..a corolla maybe. You have no lip on those. Sorry bro. Get your money back.

yeah, yeah i agree rims are not the best. but i have seen some rims that i think are dead ugly but most on CL all give thumbs up.
to each man his own opinion/tatse.









BTW, y'll stop harassing my canadian brother

Lucky SC

that much is true
i have seen some pretty ugly rims get everyone's praise on here before

but it doesn't change the fact that these are nasty

but like someone said before, wait it out and think bout wut u really want and save, dont jump on something really fast bc u see a low price tag

Can't you guys be a little more tactfull ? There plenty of ways to say you don't approve without being rude. Oh, wait, I just read the reply asking for the rudest, Man for minute there I was really disapointed in manners of the menbers. Never mind.... too funny

Even at the price paid for the set doesn't validate the pain they cause when stared at directly...at least they match your Robo-Shifter!
