2017 Honda Accord Tire Size: Every Trim's Factory Spec

The 2017 Honda Accord tire size depends on the trim: the base LX runs 205/65R16, the EX and EX-L use 225/50R17, and the Sport, Sport SE, and Touring wear 235/40R19. All three sizes share the same 5x114.3mm bolt pattern and 64.1mm center bore, so the difference between trims comes down to wheel diameter and sidewall height rather than the way the wheel bolts to the hub.

Knowing your exact size matters the moment you shop for tires or a replacement rim, because the wheel diameter, tire profile, and overall rolling diameter all have to stay in sync. Put the wrong size on and your speedometer reads off, the ride changes, and the tire can rub. This guide lists the factory tire size for every 2017 Accord trim, explains what the numbers mean, and covers what to confirm before you buy a set of OEM Accord rims.

2017 Honda Accord tire size by trim

The 2017 Accord sedan came in five main trims, and Honda used wheel size to separate them by character. Here is the factory tire and wheel spec for each:

The comfort-focused LX sits on 16-inch wheels with a tall 65-series sidewall for a soft ride and better fuel economy. The mid-range EX and EX-L step up to 17-inch wheels, and the Sport and Touring get the 19-inch package for a more planted stance and quicker steering. The Accord Coupe and the Hybrid used their own fitments, so confirm your body style before ordering.

What do the tire numbers mean?

The code molded into the sidewall looks cryptic, but each segment is a measurement. Using the Sport's 235/40R19 as an example:

• 235 is the tread width in millimeters, measured sidewall to sidewall.
• 40 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 40% of the tread width. A lower number is a shorter, sportier sidewall.
• R means radial construction, which every modern passenger tire uses.
• 19 is the wheel diameter in inches the tire is built to mount on.

The same logic applies across trims. The LX's 205/65R16 has a narrower 205mm tread and a much taller 65-series sidewall on a 16-inch wheel, which is why it rides softer and absorbs bumps better than the low-profile Sport. The tradeoff runs the other way for durability: a taller sidewall protects the wheel from pothole and curb damage, while the short 40-series tire on the 19-inch trims leaves the rim more exposed.

Beyond diameter, these are the hub specs that stay constant across the 2017 lineup and determine whether a wheel fits:

Because the bolt pattern and bore are identical across trims, a wheel from one trim will physically bolt onto another. What changes is diameter and offset, and those are what keep your speedometer accurate and your tires clearing the suspension and fenders.

Will rims from other Accord trims or model years fit?

Every ninth-generation Accord, built from 2013 through 2017, uses the same 5x114.3mm bolt pattern and 64.1mm center bore. The hub interface is identical across trims and years in that range, so a wheel from a 2016 EX or a 2015 Touring mounts on a 2017 Accord without adapters.

The catch is diameter and offset. To keep your speedometer accurate, you want to match the wheel diameter your trim's tire size was built around, or pair a different diameter with the correct tire to keep the overall rolling diameter the same. An OEM Accord wheel already carries the correct offset and the right 64.1mm hub bore, so it seats hub-centric on the car and runs true without spacers or centering rings. Our guide to what rim size fits your car walks through how diameter, width, and offset work together, and the rim size chart by vehicle lists factory specs for common sedans alongside the Accord.

Can you swap between trim wheel sizes?

You can move up or down in diameter, but the tire size has to change with the wheel to keep the rolling diameter constant. If an LX owner wants the 19-inch Sport look, the wheels bolt on, but they need 235/40R19 tires and should confirm clearance and offset. Going the other way, a Sport owner can run smaller 17-inch wheels for winter tires as long as they pair them with the taller 225/50R17 tire so the speedometer stays accurate.

The key is to match diameter to tire so the overall height stays within a narrow window. Tire fitment guides call this staying within roughly 3% of the original rolling diameter. Go much taller and you risk rubbing at full steering lock or over bumps; go much shorter and you throw off the speedometer and lower the car's effective gearing.

Replacing one wheel vs. a full set

A lot of Accord owners come looking for a single replacement after curb damage or a bent rim from a pothole. With OEM wheels that is straightforward: because the factory wheel design, finish, and spec are consistent across the production run for each trim, a genuine replacement matches the three wheels still on your car. You are not stuck buying four wheels to keep them looking uniform.

That is the main advantage of going OEM over aftermarket here. An aftermarket wheel might match the bolt pattern but differ in finish, spoke design, and exact offset, leaving one wheel that looks slightly off or sits a few millimeters different from the others. A factory-correct Accord rim is the same part that left the plant, so it blends in. You can browse factory Honda wheels in our Honda OEM rim collection.

Does changing wheels affect TPMS on the 2017 Accord?

The 2017 Accord uses a tire pressure monitoring system, and it relies on sensors that need to read correctly after any wheel swap. Replacing a wheel does not change your tire size requirement, but it can affect whether your TPMS sensor transfers cleanly. If you reuse your existing sensors on a new OEM wheel, the system keeps working; if a sensor is damaged, it needs replacing and relearning. We cover the details in our breakdown of whether you need new TPMS sensors with new rims.

What to check when buying a used OEM Accord wheel

Because the 19-inch trims run a short 40-series tire, those rims take more direct impact from potholes and curbs than the taller-tire 16- and 17-inch setups. When you buy a used factory wheel, a few checks separate a good rim from one that will fight you on the balancer:

• Look down the barrel for bends. A bent lip or flat spot causes a vibration that no amount of balancing fixes. Run your eye around the inner and outer lip for any waviness.
• Inspect for hairline cracks. Cracks tend to start at the back of the spokes or around the lug seats. A cracked wheel will not hold air reliably and is not safe to run.
• Check the curb rash. Cosmetic rash on the outer lip is common and often refinishable, but deep gouges into structural areas are a reason to pass.
• Confirm the bore and bolt pattern. Verify the wheel is the 64.1mm bore, 5x114.3mm Accord spec and the correct diameter for your trim, not a similar-looking wheel from another make.

A reputable OEM seller inspects and, where needed, refinishes wheels before they ship, so you are not gambling on a rim pulled straight from a junkyard. That inspection step is part of why a verified factory wheel tends to mount and balance cleanly the first time.

How to confirm your exact factory size before buying

Before you order tires or a replacement rim, confirm the spec on your specific car rather than relying on the trim name alone, since packages shifted over the model years:

• Check the door jamb placard. Open the driver's door and read the sticker on the B-pillar. It lists the factory tire size and recommended pressures for your exact build.
• Read the sidewall. The current tires show their size molded into the sidewall, though a previous owner may have changed them, so the door placard is the authority.
• Match the wheel diameter. A 205/65R16 needs a 16-inch wheel, a 225/50R17 needs a 17-inch wheel, and a 235/40R19 needs a 19-inch wheel. If your replacement wheel is a different diameter, your tire size has to change with it.

Confirming both the door placard size and the 5x114.3mm / 64.1mm hub specs takes a couple of minutes and rules out the most common ordering mistakes. Once you have those, finding a correct OEM Accord rim is straightforward.

The bottom line

The 2017 Honda Accord tire size is 205/65R16 on the LX, 225/50R17 on the EX and EX-L, and 235/40R19 on the Sport, Sport SE, and Touring. All trims share the 5x114.3mm bolt pattern and 64.1mm center bore used across the 2013–2017 Accord, so the difference is diameter and sidewall, not the hub. Stick with your trim's factory tire size to keep the car handling and reading speed the way Honda intended, and choose a factory-correct rim when you replace a damaged wheel so it matches the rest of the set.
