Hi and welcome,
I actually have a set I am looking to sell, PM me if you are interested. |

where are u located? i only want it locally, so i can test fit it first before buying, cuz i don't know how well it will fit with the offset and such, but thanks for the offer, |

The RWD offsets might be a tad aggressive for the Accord, and you do realize the wheels are staggered, right? Still, they would look good on the Accord. I'm interested in seeing them on your car.

Actually, I just looked up the OEM wheel size and offsets for an Accord Coupe 18x8 +30 and 18x9 +35. 19" Ray's wheels are 19x9 +47 and 19x10 +30. At your stock height, you'll need 5 mm spacers to maintain the same stance up front as you have right now. The rear wheels will be moved 17 mm outwards compared to what you have now, which may stick out a little bit beyond your fender...maybe not. It's hard to tell from your pictures.
However, if you lower your vehicle as you have on your "future mod list", the rear should camber in nicely. You may need 10-15 mm spacers for the front after lowering due to the natural camber change, depending on how much you lower. :tup: |

I'm in for pics! |
OP, I would look to find 4 fronts wheels or 4 back wheels. Staggered might mess with the driving characteristics.
Personally, I think you would be better off with a full Z conversion. Step 1 Sell or trade the Accord Step 2 Buy a Z with the Sports Package Step 3 Enjoy your new wheels in their rightfull place :p |

hahhaha, thanks, for the reply, was looking everywhere for the offset for the rays rims...
but I will be going staggered cuz it looks better that way, 5mm on the front would be good, but the rear sticking out 17mm i think i will still need spacer!!! the way i want my rear to be is about 1.5in poking out, if not 2in out... cuz right now in stock rims its sunk like a mother!!! hahahhaha i got some crazy 8thgenaccords on staggered: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3252/...3665c867_z.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3006/...6a01d908_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5263/...7a971eb3_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5155/...46a435b4_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5320/...01cc1012c8.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3136/...f0abc079_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/...a9cb9c50_b.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b3...keca/326_4.jpg and as much as i want a 370z, i will not get rid of my 8.5gencord... cuz i love it... not strong but its a beauty... hahahhaha I fell in love with it from the first glance... and as much as i want to go as agressive as those other accord, i won't, cuz I don't got that much balls... I only have 2... LOL... |
So why do FWD cars have larger wheels in the rear? The whole VIP craze makes me sad on the inside.

the 8thgen have really big butt!!! and when we put on same all around, it just look weird, cuz the rear rims always look much smaller comparing the front rims... that is all... we just want it to look fitting :pics: and I'm not a fan of the VIP stuff anyway |
