well the way it looks from the new pics, these wheels should work with maybe say 225/35, or maybe even 215/35. But it would be helpfull info to know your offsets(I'm pretty sure they're pretty aggressive for a FWD from how much poke you have right now) You can make it fit if you really really want to. But that will mean negative camber, stretched tires, rolled fenders, and it will only really look good if your pretty damn low to the ground. Plus you will have to go through tires more often cause of negative camber. For a daily w/ your family probably way better to just get new wheels and tires. I personally like it aggresive. I have 18x9,s in the rear.

it should be mesured in "mm", and it might have the letters "ET" next to it. This is what my rear looked like 18x9 36mm offset, (My car is now lower than shown in the picture)
If you look at the inside of your fenders, it has a little lip. Rolling the fenders will basically push that lip up. Better to take it to a body shop, or you can always rent a fender roller, or use a baseball bat, or rubber mallet, but you better know what your doing or you'll mess things up. also I trimmed a little peice off my bumper that was rubbing.

wow thats nice, i like the way it sits on your car, can you tell me what suspension stuff you put on it and how much of a drop did you do ? and how much camber did you put in it? also how much camber do you think i will need to put on it ?

So if your serious, first find out what your offsets are. then get smaller tires streched over those wheels. Find a set of coilovers, or air suspension. Camber kit. Roll your fenders, and you should be good to go.
Have you ever read through Colt45's thread, "My UA2 update". He has fully adjustable suspension and is running 19x9 -30mm offset, if i remember right. But he did a complete custom setup.

You changed rims on your car like three times over the course of the last week :P They look aight, but I'm not a fan of these kinds of rims; I like things that are very simplistic because in my opinion that's what looks good.

Thinking i should've went with 215/35 and i probably wouldnt have to worry if i need a camber kit or not

Update
Hello all, here just giving some updates, Today, i got my fenders rolled which cost 100 dollars, and i placed my order 100 dollars for some Dropzone Springs 2.5" front/ 2.25" rear. Im still hoping that i wont need to put a camber kit on it, i really messed up getting the 235/35/19s i should have gotten 215 or 225s but once the springs get in i can see what im working with, oh and over the weekend i did the custom grill in the front, it WAS NOT EASY lol took all day sunday pretty much, but here is the pics.

In my opinion the grill doesn't look good. Maybe if your car were dark it would be better, but it just pops out too much and the Acura logo on the side is also kinda weird.
Just my opinion though.
