Will these fit on my stock height accord coupe? Seems like a bit too much, but really a great deal on rims and tires.

Rims are OZ Superturismo
Tires Goodyear Eagle LS2

$500

What do you guys think? :dunno:

Yeah but it does not tell whether it rubs or anything......real world examples or knowledge would be great..

Suggested size is 215/45/18. Another 10mm won't make that much of a difference.

You have to consider the speedometer before upsizing a tire. Based on the tire you want to use, when the clock marks 60 mph you will be 63 mph or 4.6% slow.

Use the tire calculator to select the proper upsizing. You don't want a speed ticket... ;)
