I remember when the 10th gen was revealed that 19" touring wheels had something in the design that reduced road noise. I love the look of them, and am asking the membership if these wheels would bolt onto an 8th gen? Thx in advance.

They should bolt on just fine, but you're going to be dealing with road noise with any 19" wheels on an Accord, even with the wheel resonators. You might need to use an online wheel/tire calculator to make sure to pick the correct size tire so that you maintain the same overall diameter compared to your existing tire setup.

2018-2022 Accords with 19x8.5" alloy wheels have an offset of +50. You can use this website to plus in your current car's wheel and tire size to figure out what tire size you'll need and if you'll be dealing with any fitment issues.

Also- be aware that 9th and 10th Generation OEM Honda wheels do not use tire pressure sensors- as the car uses an indirect TPMS. If I remember correctly, 8th Gen Accords have physical sensors in the wheels that work with the TPMS.

I have the factory 19" Touring wheels on my 2021 Accord- and they are still pretty noisy- lots of road noise- even with those wheel resonators. I use a set of OEM 17" wheels and more snow-friendly tires in winter- and they are much quieter than the factory 19" wheels.

The 10th gen has some other improvements that reduce road noise, most of the wheel wells and underbody are lined with some felt coated material. I think either the rental Kia K5 or Camry I had also uses this material. We'll see if this stuff last 10 years.

My 10G sport doesn't have the in wheel resonators but it is still quieter than my 8G. Just saying there may not be too much noise improvement from just the wheels.

Just get some soft summer tires. I think the Indy 500s are still the best at keeping my car's road noise to a minimum.

Thanks guys! There's nothing louder than an 8th gen. I do plan some sound deadening on the floor.

Since the 9th and 10th gens don't use physical TPMS sensors anymore, does that just mean you'll always have the TPMS light on once mounted, and the only way to check tire pressure is through manually checking every so often?

The light never comes on with my 2021 Accord Touring- it doesn't matter if I have the factory 19" wheels/tires on the car or the winter wheels/tires on the car... unless the tires are under-inflated. I had the same summer and winter tire packages on my 2019 Accord Sport 2.0t... and it didn't give me any issues then either.

From my understanding, the Accord's indirect TPMS measures wheel rotations, so as long as all four wheels are properly filled and are turning at the same rate, the light won't come on. It's only when one wheel is under or over-filled- and it causes it to spin slightly faster or slower than the other wheels- that the light will come on. Someone else might be able to verify this- as I'm not 100% sure- but that's always been the way that I've understood the system to work on the 9th and 10th Generation.

10th Generation Accords don't have individual readouts for the tires- so you'll have to manually inspect them/adjust them anyway... which should be done monthly regardless of if the TPMS's light illuminates. No TPMS is perfect, and most aren't very sensitive... so it's always a good idea to test monthly to make sure that it's on-target.

Mine has individual batteries on each wheel. Yes, I'm going to disable the TPMS light.

I see. I was thinking about upgrading to 18in 10th gen civic wheels, so I assume it'll probably be the same with individual batteries on each wheel.
