Thanks for the suggestions guys. Already checked out both wheels previously; the m510's aren't available in black so I scratched that off the list and the velgens are pretty damn pricey so I tried to stay away from them as well. I like the concave look, but as I already stated, I'm new to all of this and I don't want to get a rim that's too wide which would require fender rolling or any extra work. would a 19"x9.5" fit in the front and back without rubbing at all. I know several people have 10's or even 10.5's on their accords, but it seems that those cars are all slammed to the ground and have had the fenders rolled. I'm just looking for maybe a 1"-1.5" drop and NO rubbing! :banana:
Its all about offset when it comes to wheel fitment. I dont think lowering the vehicle will change wheel fitment, theyre either going to poke(low offset)/flush(perfect offset) with fender/sunk in(high offset).

Lowered dudes run more aggressive offsets and widths because usually the wheels offer:
a. big lip
b. more concave

In order to compensate for aggressive offsets/width they run negative camber, to make the wheel flush with the fender, instead of running the wheel looking like a go-kart.

atleast this is what i understand from it. Still learning.

Im also looking at the AG M510 and a mild(springs) drop. I don't mind the satin silver, prob would look good on the pearl white. Problem with the AG wheels is that they are a 35mm offset on the 9.5 wide wheels. Not sure if the front will work. I don't mind doing a little fender work but I don't want to get too crazy.

I am really diggin this look of wheels but this particular brand and wheel does not come in a 19.

They have pics of matte black m510s on the avant garde website. Don't know if they was painted or powder coated. But they look great. Going that route might be cheaper.

Letting suspension settle before going lower.
No rubbing, no fenders rolled yet. Going to add 10-20mm spacers in the rear to get the wheel flush. A lower offset would of been nice, but the wheel sits perfect in the front and I didn't want staggered wheels(I like to rotate and staggered belongs in rwd setups).

Is it just me or does the rear wheel look small compared to the body? It seems like there's so much open space around the wheel? :dunno:

Other than that, I like the design of the rims.

I don't know if it's the angle the picture is taken or the fact that I can lower the car much more that it is now. At this height a bigger tire could of been used. But the car is going much lower.

Are you stretching the 225 tire on the 9.5 wide wheel? Got any pics of the tires on the wheel?
Yes, they are stretched(not too aggressive) as I'm going lower once i figure where the suspension finally settles at this setting.

Pn1rocksanho thanks a lot. Is there anyway u can do a complete side shot? These are the rims I want but can't find any other detailed pics on a 9th gen.
 
this sticks out too much for me. so im guessing go 9.5's all around would be best?
Here's my front 9.5 with a +40 offset to give you a example of what it could look like.

Is this a new trend? Looks like you're begging to curb your rims.

Maybe I'm old but the size makes some otherwise nice rims look bad on the car. :dunno:
lol, this trend has been around quite a few years now. :thumbsdow

Sometimes it can look good but most of the time people take it too far. Go look at VW cars that have a stance/hellaflush look.

Here's my front 9.5 with a +40 offset to give you a example of what it could look like.
Ugh.....makes me sad. most of the wheels I'm looking at are 9.5 with either a 35 or 40 offset. might have to go with an 8.5 wide wheel.

Would you mind taking a pic of the rear from this angle.

Yep either airrex suspsenion or ksports. Looks bad now but in a few months the bags will come in. For now i have ksport coilover on order.

so fronts fit perfect with no rub issues? nice..

Im looking for a flush setup also but Im new to the accord scene and still dont know what requires fender work and what-not. I would prefer not to roll any fenders since in my area i dont really know anyone that i could trust with that.

front clear no problem, I can honestly go lower with the tire size I'm running. With a 235/35 or 245/40 you won't be able to slam the car. The rears actually **** in some, so I'm gonna run a 15-20mm spacer so it sits flush like the front. I will more than likely have to roll the rear with how low I will eventually go.

Here you go

So how does thw offset work? The lower the number the more the lip sticks out or what? Im confused
The lower offset from factory specs and lip/barrel of wheel will push out towards the fender/quarter panel.
