Stanced Accord with HFP wheels possible?

Is it possible to have a stanced accord with hfp wheels or am I doomed because of the offsets??

yeahhh true... but i've read that 25mm spacers rear doesn't even get it flush. some say they could have ran 30mm spacers. I wouldn't feel comfortable running 30mm spacers

Do you plan on tracking the car? If not, then the size of the spacer shouldn't matter. You will NEED extended wheel studs to be able to put the lug nuts on. I've seen a guy that runs 35+mm spacers and has had them on for a year with no problems.

strictly for looks only , 35mm seems kinda much for the axles and wheel bearings. Idk?? Has anybody on here tried wheel spacers over 25mm??

Really on a X8 +55 offset can't see it happening even if your planning on putting spacers , you need to find yourself a wider wheel with a lower offset to make it work oh and also don't forget you will also need to run stretch tires to have the look your trying to achieve. .

I bought a 25mm off the internet... then did air ride wanted to flush it out a little more and went to autozone and got a 5/8" spacer. Had no issues with that... as long as you get the ones with the extended threads and you dont rip it around like its a Porsche you should be fine. outside of that your going to need to buy a wider wheel with a lower offset.

If you do plan on spacers, please ensure they are hub and wheel centric. You should have no problems with that. With an 8" wide wheel, you would probably consider a 215/35/19 tire to give it that "stretched" look.

Otherwise, sell your wheels to Cyanide and get wider ones. LOLz.

Yeah i think I'm going to give 20mm a shot for my rears and drop my car a 1/2 inch or so then see how i like the looks. I don't drive fast, but i do about 60 miles of driving a day, not sure how the spacers will hold up

How you liking that air ride?? pros/cons
