how low will you be? 17x9 requires quite a bit of work to pull off
XXRs IMO are horrible, don't like em and everybody has em
but to each his own

Thanks for the pic, they actually look pretty nice and can pull it off. I've always loved your front end, made me change my mind of keeping my 01 sedan instead of swapping it out for a 01 coupe.
I'll be installing my Koni's and GC sometime this month (whenever I get a day off from work+school). I'll be dropped to maybe 3-3.5" w/ rolled fenders and maybe a bumper tab relocate to have the 17x9 fit correctly.
These XXR's are in mind because they are cheap and decent wheels that looks nice. Not many people people here has these 962's on accord, most of them are on 240's.
I'm in search of all types of 17x9 w/ 4x114.3 lug pattern wheels, Plus there aren't many varieties as there would be if I was 5x114.3. Just haven't found any that will not take a huge chuck out of my wallet.
thats on old pic btw lol, i have a coupe front end now so much better than my sedan front end, i saw swap it out hurry up and lower and since you want cheap good looking wheels that wont hurt your wallet and look good imo get these http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-527-Wheels-s/1649.htm

my opinion... 9 inch rim will be way too poked for you to work with...
honestly listen to jeffpanya
get less aggressive width and offset, and space it out to your liking
if you get a 9 inch wide rim and its too much, you're **** out of luck

I would personally go with low and wide, but whatever you decide you should check out my 15mm spacers I have for sale

I've seen pictures of 17x9 on the LX/EX models, doesn't seem like the poke too much.

Hah, only if I really need them. I don't really think I would need it though. Thank though hah.
if you go with wide, flush, also depends on how low you are willing to go because with a 17x9 with like mid offsets with maybe a 3 inch drop would be flush, just look around at other setups, thats what i did,
this is my current setup 17x9.5 with a 30 offset fenders from the ground 23-24 ish

Looks nicely done, isn't your current set up alot lower though?
I've also seen some 17x9 Rota Grids with the sucken face for $800 obo. Seems a little to steep for my pockets though.
