In the 2004 Honda Accord, rim size depends on trim: LX models typically have 15-inch rims, while EX and EX V6 models use 16-inch rims. The sedan and coupe generally follow this pattern, though there can be exceptions due to market or factory options. Always verify your exact wheel size with the door jamb sticker or the owner's manual.
Rim sizes by trim
The following outlines the standard wheel diameters you would find on most US-market 2004 Accords by trim level.
- LX: 15-inch rims
- EX and EX V6: 16-inch rims
Bottom line: LX trims use 15-inch rims; EX and EX V6 use 16-inch rims. Some special editions, dealer-installed options, or aftermarket wheels can differ. Check the vehicle's door sticker or VIN-based records for confirmation.
How to confirm your exact size
To be sure of the wheel diameter on a specific vehicle, use these verifications:
Vehicle labeling and official sources
Inspect the tire and loading information placard on the driver’s doorjamb or the owner’s manual for the recommended wheel diameter for your car. The rim size is usually listed as the wheel diameter in inches.
VIN and service records
If the sticker is missing or faded, a Honda dealer or certified shop can pull the original spec from the VIN or build sheet to confirm the correct rim size.
Summary
The standard 2004 Honda Accord configuration uses 15-inch rims on LX trims and 16-inch rims on EX and EX V6 trims. There can be exceptions due to market, options, or aftermarket wheels, so always verify with the car’s official labels or service records.
