I put 18's on my coupe, and there are so many wheels to choose from, it's just a matter of personal taste. One thing you may want to consider is staying with the same wheel size front and rear, otherwise you will not be rotating the wheels to prolong tire life :dunno: I went with Goodyear F1's A/S tires, but you'll want to choose something based on the weather where you live. I'm researching the lowering kits at this time, but haven't made a decision yet. Keep us posted on what you find out and what you've chosen for your ride.

i am still going staggered... it's looking better and it handles better sometimes... but that's for an RWD..... so i'm not sure........ I am here for my friend... i own a Lexus IS250..... so it's an RWD... i always go staggered for better handling and i have Tein SS coils.... for this accord i'm not sure... yeah... anyone know any good offset to let it sit flushed??

show us some examples of what you like

i need infos more on springs to use and offsets... rather than the style of wheels.... that is much easier compared to finding the perfect offset...

What I personally recommend for 8.5, 9.5 wide wheels are:
Front: +38
Rear: +45

With OEM front wheels at 18x8 +55, in the pictures jpc posted a link to, you'd be good at +45

With the wheels shown from RonJon on the rear hub, I'd go towards +40 with an 8" or +42 to +45 with a 9" to get as close as possible to flush to that fender edge.

jpc, are you sure you posted +38 right for the front? That's going to set the lip of the wheel quite far out from the hub.

I posted that info based on this picture here:

Staggered set up from Super6, front is 8.5; +38, rear is 9.5; +45.

And also on this pic here:

This is the Axis Groove:
Front: 20 x 8.5; +35
rear: 20 x 10; +40

If those 8.5s work at +35 and +38, then theorectically the 8" should work with the same offsets. However, I'm still a wheel/tire newbie that's learning so you may be right. Hopefully some other wheel experts can clarify this info :thmsup:

Point proven haha :)
It's okay I'm not 100% on my numbers either.
