17" rims on an accent
who has 17" rims on their accent? will it look really stupid or do they fill up the fenders nicely? i wouldnt want the monster truck look and im looking into coil overs for the car to bring it down to the ground a little.

SOMETIMES 17s can look good on an Accent, but it's very tight in there.
I'd rather go with a 15, or 16 if you must. They will be lighter and give much better ride quality.

I have seen an Accent with 18's believe it or not.
I HAD 16's on my 04 Accent (OEM 07 Accent rims), they were a little too wide and made the car handle funny.
Lower you car BEFORE shopping for wheels and tires

I have had 13's, 14's, 15's, 16's, and 18's on at least one of my Accents at one point or another.
17's cannot be stock height with tire sizes available so acceleration will suffer somewhat. It doesn't look retarded or anything, but I prefer a 16, or 15 inch wheel on an Accent.
