You just got a crash course in how 18's with no drop on Accord looks like Bigfoot.

The reason the wheel gap looks so large, even if you retain the same overall diameter as your stock setup is due to an optical illusion. With your stock setup you had more or about the same amount of tire sidewall as you did wheelgap. Now you have a much smaller amount of tire sidewall than wheelgap, makes the car look lifted by exaggerating the wheel gap.

You'll be gravy once you lower it.

Watch out for curbs in those rims. They will be ur worst nightmare if u ever touch one. You can join me in my rally ventures in that car LOL. The 4x4 upgrade should be next.

Sorry. Not really my style. I don't like wheels where the spokes stick out further than the rim.
