The 2008 Honda Accord uses different rim diameters depending on trim and body style. In general, LX models came with 16-inch rims, while EX and EX-L trims used 17-inch rims.
This article explains how rim sizes varied between the sedan and coupe versions of the 2008 Accord, and provides guidance on how to verify the exact size for a specific vehicle.
Sedan wheel sizes by trim
For the four-door sedan, factory wheel diameter typically falls into two categories: 16 inches on the base LX, and 17 inches on the higher-trim EX and EX-L models. Exact size can vary by market and option packages, so confirm on the vehicle.
- LX (sedan): 16-inch rims
- EX (sedan): 17-inch rims
- EX-L (sedan): 17-inch rims
In short, sedan wheel diameters are commonly 16" for base models and 17" for EX/EX-L trims.
Coupe wheel sizes by trim
The 2008 Accord coupe generally follows the same pattern as the sedan: base trims commonly use 16-inch rims, while higher trims use 17-inch rims. As with the sedan, check the door jamb sticker or owner's manual for the exact measurement.
- Base coupe: 16-inch rims
- EX coupe: 17-inch rims
- EX-L coupe: 17-inch rims
In short, coupe wheel diameters are typically 16" for base models and 17" for EX/EX-L trims.
Notes and verification
Wheel size can vary by region, model year within the 2008 generation, and optional packages. When replacing rims or tires, verify the exact size stamped on the tire sidewall and the wheel itself, and consult the owner's manual or a VIN-specific parts catalog to ensure proper fitment.
Summary
For the 2008 Honda Accord, rim sizes are typically 16 inches on base LX trims and 17 inches on EX and EX-L trims, for both sedan and coupe body styles. Always confirm the exact diameter from the vehicle’s placard or documentation, as some market-specific or sport packages may differ.
