there are many posts about this subject
you can try searching or look in the accord gallery and it all depends on what you like
a nice size(17), big(18), or huge(19)
dropping it will make 19's more difficult but 17's are perfect for 5th gen accords

my tires are just as thick as yours but wider.

Size is up to you, but I'd recommend lowering the car before wheels.

Definitely.
If you think the car looks jacked up now, wait until you see it with bigger rims and low profile tires. I had no intention of dropping my Accord until I put rims on her.
