staggered 18x8 19x9.5 accord coupe
got fixed feelings from everyone who saw these. some people loved them and others hated them. Most people said that the front tire looked to big. i might change them out but for now their staying
18x8 30 offset front with 225/40/18
19x9.5 40 offset rear with 225/35/19
-2 camber front and -4 rear
i may go a LITTLE lower in the rear after i roll the fenders but until then i cannot.
all comments welcome.

the wheels themselves look good, but the front and the back tire sizes don't look good together.
your front tire sidewall is too big compared to the back.
And if you are considering buying new tires, i think you should get skinner fron tires and stretch them, so you can drop your car to the ground.
Edit: just noticed that the wheels are 18's and 19's, doesn't look right on a FWD car. Wider wheels on the back is good, but not a bigger diameter
This is all just my

IMO, staggered wheel/tire setups only belong on RWD cars... but that's just me...

Staggering a FWD car is simply wrong on several fronts.
-not functional (many do not understand why staggering is correct on a RWD car)
-because of the above, even though the staggering looks good, it simply doesn't look right.
-too much work to fit them right
But those wheels DO look HOT. Not trying to offend, just my $0.02.

from the side profile, the car looked like a mustang for a second with the design of the wheels...
why not just do it right from the beginning and roll the fenders??? now you wasted money on an extra set of tires...

yea after looking at it more ill probably swap the front tires.
i never knew people were so against the staggered diameters. my last set was 19/20 and not one single person said anything. now that i went 18/19 everyone noticed. maybe its that front tire lol
keep the opinions coming. and no i wont curb these. and im not worried about my tires

I like it, but as its been said I would have stuck to 18" all around. I wouldn't even do staggered diameter on my car, if that says anything. I like the staggered width, which I would do on my car.... but staggered diameter can only be pulled off on certain cars, like a Corvette, NSX, MR2, and the like. The car needs to have a pronounced wedge-shape profile in order for the staggered F/R to look good
Stretched sidewalls are gangster.... but I don't know if I could do it given the way I drive

Constructive criticism: if you're going to stagger on FWD, just stagger widths... staggered diamaters just looks wrong, IMO.

im not really a fan of ronjon wheels but the pics of the staggered setup he had on his CL were the best ones ive seen yet. This website seems to love ronjon stuff. IMO its too conservative and i dont dig the styles. but props on providing lower end and higher end wheels exclusively to a lower end market. most people would not have done that.

To me, I think they're a touch too big. If the rears were a bit smaller and the fender was rolled, it would look hot.
I say 215/40-18 all around, no stagger, and lower to fill the gap. That would be
And that model Accord is a nice ride.
