There isn't a single rim size for the 2008 Honda Accord—the wheel diameter depends on trim and body style. Most commonly, base trims use 16-inch rims and higher trims use 17-inch rims.
Rim sizes by trim (Sedan)
For the sedan lineup, the wheel size largely follows two sizes depending on trim level.
- LX/LX-P: 16-inch rims
- EX/EX-L: 17-inch rims
The above reflects the common configurations for the 2008 Accord Sedan. Always verify for your specific vehicle, especially if it has dealer-installed wheels or aftermarket replacements.
How to confirm your exact wheel size
To determine the precise rim size for your car, use these quick checks.
- Look at the door jamb placard on the driver's side door frame; it lists the wheel size (in inches) alongside tire pressures.
- Inspect the wheel itself: the stamped specification on the wheel face or back often reads something like "16x6.5" or "17x7".
- Check the tire sidewall; the last number in the sequence (e.g., 16, 17) indicates the wheel diameter in inches that the tire is sized to fit.
- Consult the owner's manual or Honda's official build data with your VIN if you want an exact match for a factory wheel.
These steps will help you confirm whether your Accord uses 16, 17, or another diameter wheel, particularly if aftermarket rims have been installed.
Summary
In 2008, the Honda Accord did not have a universal wheel size. For the sedan, 16-inch wheels were standard on base LX models, while higher trims like EX and EX-L typically rode on 17-inch rims. Always verify with the door sticker or VIN to be certain for your specific car, and be mindful of potential aftermarket wheels that could alter the size.
