The offset is way too low. You need at least 48mm+ to accomodate the 8" width. They'll stick out like those little tires on a Mexican lowrider.

Tire rub is fun:yay: Cause I'm thinking you might change your mind and drop it in the future.

Will there be a CHI car show anytime soon? Cause I wanna vote on the car in the reflection of your accord. What is that, looks like a mini van made by BMW on nice wheels(stupid humor). I'm curious, what is the car in the reflection.
Please bro reconsider what you wanna do here. Your accord is to clean looking for what you wanna accomplish! Save all that money your about to spend; get a good suspension for the wheels you got now. Is that your car in your sig or what. I don't see much wrong with the tire wheel/package you got in your sig.
If you got that kind of money to spend save it for another mod. I can see your fumbling over rims and tires. Those are show rims, not everyday driving rims. They look heavy as hell to.
Take none of this to heart! Are you driving a coupe or sedan here!

What is the point of spending 2 grand on wheels and tires if you're not going to lower the car?

Why don't you purchase some 19x7.5's (225/35/19) with a +45mm offset and then do a nice 1.2-1.5" drop. Since you aren't going for performance you can easily get some H&R ($199.00 new) -- or Eibach Pro-kit spring -- that will do this drop and work with factory shocks perfectly. I would also suggest a rear camber kit in order to save on precious dub tire wear. In any case the entire outlay of cash if you go frugal and still pay for it then to be installed (sans optional camber kit) is around $400.00 ($550.00 w/ camber kit). This should be step no. 1 before you even purchase your first wheel. :naughty:

Dubs = Gay
Dubs w/ drop = Less Gay :thumbup:
