the off set for rear wheel drive cars are totally different than ours.. im sure it will fit but as soon as you hit a bump or turn it will rub. especially in the back due to that upper control arm being that it is only 1/4" away from the rear tire with my 18's on.

that rear control arm freaks me out how close it sits to the tire. It is odd how the 1st gen 3.0 have 4 bolt lug pattern but the same year Accord EX v6 has a 5 bolt lug. Then on the 2nd gens, they went to five for 3.0 and 3.2. hmmmmmm
