If you think these can mess up the suspension on the Accord sedan, then let me know. I know they are 19" and don't know what is the maximum rim width the Accord Sedan's suspension was designed for.
But what do you think?
Also, you think the car will look goofy and will have to be dropped after?

Other than that the HFP 19's are great for the money

The HFP for the COUPE are nice, but not the sedan.

I am just afraid if I put 19" on my sedan that it might mess up the suspension. They have the same rims in 18" too. Which ones are safer you think?

ive seen people put 20's in a sedan with no problems, so i think 19 should be fine

I know Diamond White and Chrome look very classy and nice. I just want to know if it will give me suspension problems down the road.

What si the Sedan wheel OFFSET?

the wheel offset for the sedan is +55 as is the coupes, that includes the hfp wheels for the accord

Putting 19's on your car would not damage ur suspension.

I contacted the seller and he told me these rims weigh 27.5 lb. Now the stock rims weigh 32.5 lb. I am still worried about how the car will drive.
I had a friend that put 18" on his car and it totally messed up the car after he took them off. He told me because his car's (Intrigue) suspension was designed for 17".
Plus, I think the Accord doesn't drive that smooth right now (Road noise and bumpy) and don't want it to get worst.

Going with a larger wheel size will not necessarily affect the suspension per se. Your friend's suspension could have been affected due to a larger or smaller overall rolling diameter, extra weight of the larger wheel setup(affecting braking), improper offset, out of balance scenario or poor alignment.

Personally for me, I had 22's on my Tahoe and the ride was not painful but it wasn't smooth either and I was actually running a 45 series when stock diameter called for a 40 series. I want to upgrade my stockers to 18 inchers(Probably factory V6 coupe wheels) but that is as large as I want to go. 19 and above would sacrifice too much sidewall for me and make the ride too harsh.

So you are saying 18" won't do any harm and the ride will be the same?

Depends what you define as harm? little bit stiffer of a ride with a little less sidewall compared to the stock 17's. Yes. Harm to the suspension going up to the 18's instead of running the 17's. No.
