i asked this before. i'm not sure it will fit, but a honda tech once told me it will mess with the abs system.

It will be fine as long as you get the right tire diameter.

They all use the same brakes, so yes, what clears one clears all.
If you use the same diameter tire on all 4 wheels, the abs is fine. Doesn't matter if its 175/50/13 or 335/35/24. Its looking for a deceleration difference (slip) and if they're all going the same speed, then it's happy.

oh okay so if you swap 14 inch rims and tires onto an ex it should work like normal...

dang I thought it wouldnt fit o well.. too late now, im going with 15s 14s wouldve been nice though

could that be why my accord abs light is on? Im using 2 toyos in front and some generic tires in back, will that cause the abs light? also will it be ok if identical size but different brand?

No. that light is on for something else. It doesn't know you have 2 different brands, nor would that trip the light. The light is on because of a system malfunction. Differently sized tires would just trigger the ABS for a situation not needing ABS.

can u mount 205s on normal 14 inch rims?

Yes you can, the minimum rim width for a 205 tire is 5.5" which is the 14" rim width. I've been riding on 205s for over 30,000 miles without any problems. They feel really good, especially on mountain roads I used to drive in PR.

put u have dx which comes with 14s stock, I have ex model which comes with 15s stock, its there for a reason, what would be disadvantages of putting 14s on ex model that comes with 15? i mean thats not factory specs so I dont want to go smaller than 15 but 14s would be a nice addition, can anyone tell me what would happen if i were to swap 14" rims onto my ex?

Is there a reason that you want 14 inch wheels when you have 15?

 
Rep Power: 811

other than the usual speedo, odo difference, i would think the bigger rims handle better. i guess they do different things. smaller rims may not take corners as well but they accelerate better and prolly weigh less.

exactly the reason i want smaller rims, but same tire size is 15. looking to get 205/50/14 if possible but im going with 15s

If you want good acceleration and cornering, just get some lightweight 15" instead of the 14" or the 15" steelies and tires according to the kind of driving you're used to.
