Im trying to see if these new wheels are gonna fit...help?

hey guys, i have an 01 Accord Sedan and i was looking a these rims for my car now i could either go with 18x9.5 on all fours, which i want but i know they might be too big for the front, so thats why now im thinking of getting 18x9.5 on the back and 17x9 on the front...what do you guys think? what tire sizes specs should i get? and im currently on stock suspension but im planning on gettings some coils soon, probably some Tein and do a 2''-3'' drop depending on how the wheels look, and no im not looking for camber kits, they look great when theyre are not ridiculous negative camber but the maintence on the tires when you have is too much so i wont be having camber, thank!

Lowering needs to come first.

And any of those will fit. Pick whatever you like best and consult the Wheel Fitment Thread for more information.

hmm alright thanks!
but the only reason i would go 17x9 in the front is because i dont want to rub..

Ugh... Everyone is afraid of rubbing. Relocate tabs, pull and roll and you're golden.

If you are still skeptical, then you ain't bout that life.

Look at it like this....

Anything between 15-30 offset you're gonna have to run stretch tires.

People can fir 18x10 +25 with fender work and running the correct size tires.

Width doesn't = automatic rubbing. It's if you know what wheel size and offset they are then you're golden.

15x8 +0 on 195/65-17 and I will bet you anything it'll rub.

 

[noelaorozco]

the offset on the 18x9.5 are +12 and +15 with the 17x9
well looks like im going to be having to do some fender work or at least rolling them...now i just need to figure out what size tires ill be needing.

Maybe sort out suspension first....

 

[noelaorozco]

^ yeah thats what i figured in this past hour lol and i saw your post on the 98-02 accords suspension list, that helped alot, thanks!

but out of curiousity would you recommend the Tein Basis or F&F type 1, 2, or 2,5?

 

[Valet]

Teins have a more comfortable ride but will not go as low as function and form. Type 1's are stiff and are purely for stance and virtually nothing else. Type 2 & 2.5 feature adjustable dampening so they are more comfortable than type 1's but still don't match Teins.

You must prioritize in order to pick.
