Well if I’m right and the rears in the photo you posted are 9.5” wide, you’re going to need to space yours out to get anywhere close to that. Honestly 1.5” is a huge deficit so I wouldn’t do that, but you can get close. Having your fenders rolled is a good start. I’d post your above question in the wheel fitment thread to get the best answer.

so I cant get my head around as to what my car stance would look like if i spaced the rear with 20mm ichiba spacers and front and rear camber kit. I want the negative camber look if possible with the wheel/suspension set up ive got now.

currently on 18x8 +35 with koni yellows and either tein or neuspeed springs.(not sure) any advice or even pictures of other accords that would match up to what Im aiming for as in stance would be appreciated....:coffee:

my guess wld be tein because of the front gap in comparison to the rear gap
and apart from it suffering from boatism i suggest leave it alone looks pretty good

Having negative camber while not being slammed is a nono. Your wheels wont be flushed in with the fenders and your only running 8" wide wheels, not going to look so great.

the front gap always bothered me.somethin i will definatley being fixing.
as far as the negative camber look ,Iam not looking for somethin durastic.thats kinda why i turned you guys,cause im curious to see how much negative camber i could achieve at this point by adding front and rear camber kits..

next time i buy wheels i will definatley buy some thicker sized wheels to achieve a better stance.But for now Im thinkin of throwin 20mm spacers in the rear.But Im so curiuos to see what actual wheel stance look i would get from it...?? thats kinda why i reached out to any of you who are running the spacers..

Looks like you have some beefy tires and with a 20mm spacer, you'll be poking and rubbing. And having a lot of negative camber with wheel gap is FTL.

Get some coilovers first before anything. Or just swap out whatever springs you have with GC sleeves. Besides, your boat-look issue will be gone.
