You're gonna need some spacers to make those look good. Your factory wheel is 17x8 +45.

Oh mah gawd, I love those wheels

If I were you I would get some spacers and then get coilovers. Personally I'm going for a set of TEIN Basic Coilovers later down the road, but I would get the TEIN SS if I could afford them.

get 20mm spacer for the front and 25mm for the back. That would make them look good. otherwise, they might not even fit and even if they do, they would be too sunken in and not look good at all.

These aren't BBS but will give you an idea what your car will look like with that style & no drop.

I don't think you understand what he's saying. The wheels in the picture HE posted are not BBS wheels. He was just trying to give you an example of what a mesh wheel with no drop looks like.

OP you have to lower the car, even if it is just 1". And those BBS wheels look good. That is my all time favorite wheel. I didn't see a car yet that didn't pull these off.

I will, thinking about getting the whole aspec lip kit and suspension since I'm still under warranty. After 100k it's full body coilovers

I don't know what that means. What are you trying to say. You will get the a-spec now and suspension after you're out out of warranty?

It won't void my warranty if i let Acura install my aspec lip kit and suspension since it's oem. Once my warranty is up I'm upgrading the suspension to full body coilovers

Nice wheels . The offset is just too sunk, but it ain't nothing wheel spacers can't fix . About the A spec lip kit, save your money & do the install yourself . It's pretty simple.

Body parts ... what are they going to cause a failure of? As for springs .. they would have to prove the springs were the cause of a suspension part failure .. Neither have any bearing on the rest of the warranty.

My car was dropped on aftermarket springs before the first year was out and a CAI installed before that and all warranty was covered.
