WHAT UP SHAWN! Haha welcome to AZ (even though you don't have an Acura... YET)

Check out some Work rims. If you're willing to dish out that kind of money for wheels, do it right. http://workwheelsusa.com/

I'm a huge fan but I can't afford them ATM.

Why bother with 10" width on a FWD car? Aside from looks, it doesn't help. It actually has negative effects

Shawn, did you buy it yet? Did you take my advice and look at WORK? I want a set of them

ummm... I asked for wheels spec, not tires.

I'm guessing 18x7.5 with +55 offset. From looking at stock setup, those wheels won't fit. I would recommend 20x8.5 with high offset. You might able to get away with that setup, but 20x10 is definite no.

You might also want to post this over at accord forum.

good luck,

Haha yea i know it doesn't do shit performance wise but i just think it looks good. I cant help it i grew up drag racing rwd cars, big tires are sexy to me.

And Im really just trying to figure out my limits on space.

I checked out the work wheels and you are right they are sexy!

I just keep bouncing back and forth b/w what i think I want. I don't get my car for another two weeks so I got some time to decide. I just wanted them to be ordered or at least know what I want by the time I get it.

Shawn, like S14 n Tsx said, you might want to ask some Accord guys. They probably have a better idea of what fits...

Personally, I'd go with XX"x8.5-9" but thats just me. I have 8.5"s with 235 tires... Since your wheels are gonna be so damn expensive, get some wider tires for some added protection (245, 255 maybe).

Email/link me some pictures when you get your ride. Next time you drive up to NY/NJ, you should stop be IL!

10 is going to be a little too wide.
if you're gonna go staggered go 8.5 in the back and 7.5 up front.

I can't tell in that pic if the front stick out. I don't imagine that guy has better pics to decide.

I dunno that I'd go 20 on TSWs.

I'd try to find better wheels or save up for mid-range forged.

I'd hate for you to bend the wheel at the first big pothole you hit.

Hre Ftw

I say take a look at HRE wheels:

http://www.hrewheels.com/index.html

The 540 series, IMO, would look good.

Now, um....about the price....Ummm, a little expensive

[SIZE=3]$800 - $1000 a wheel starting price....

Also some other info on the 8th gen fitment:

I test-fitted 19x9.5 w 245/35-19 in the winter. offset was 50 ....No issues..I'd say it's the best offset for this car when putting on a wider rim. Pushes the wheels out just enough and barely changes the wheel center (5mm). Hope this helps.
