New to the site.
I thinking of doing a VIP inspired wagon.
I just bought a 1996 Accord Lx wagon back in April.
Havent driven it yet, I am replacing the transmission after troubleshooting it.
I picked her up for $650, small amount to nothing rust.
I dropped her on Function and Form Type Ones. Something about 4" drop all around. The back needs to go down more.
I am planing to swap the interior for tan leather. SIR headlights and Enkei 92 Gold 15x8 with 195/55/16. Customer exhaust, with a truck tip.
Do some neck pillows, make it feel really luxurious inside, pillows in the back, woodgrain console, wood grain floor in the back, and do a tray table upfront.
Just keep it clean and simple. Its going to be daily driven, carry my little girl in the back.

Welcome
It will be different, but I can see it being put together nicely. 92s really aren't VIP styled wheels though....it will probably just be a stanced car if done right

I was thinking of running a dish, like a 18" from Vr Motorsports.
But I am clueless about tire/offset

Work Euroline 6 hole
18x9 +38
18x10 +38
Tire Rack reports 18x7.5 +42 offset
215/40/18 is the tire being shown
So I think they would fit, but wouldnt know what tire to run?
I assuming I would need to roll my fenders and adjst camber?
But how do I adjust camber, I know there are kits. But is this something I can do in my driveway?
Or do I need to find a shop in hicktown Iowa where I live that can help me lol.
I would love to shove huge rims under it.

those would look good with a jdm front end, new paint etc
do some fender work and tire stretching and you MIGHT get a vipstyle look

No such thing as a JDM front end. Just SIR headlights, EDM got head-light washers.
All wagons were made in USA. Wagons are seen in the VIP scene, just not as much as the RWD Luxo Cars.
I am going for a inspired look, I wouldnt want to rock a body kit on these roads in Iowa.
