im currently on XXR 527. specs are 18x9.75, 5x114.3
my buddy's accord is a 4 door v6. its lowered about 1.5inches all around. hes thinking of buying my wheels and i was wondering if he would have any fitment issues?
hes buying the rims only and needs to buy tires. dont know if thats gonna have to be a specific size.

He's going to need to lower his car more and run a hell of a stretch to fit those. I'm running 17x7.5 with H&R Race springs and I rubbed in the rear. The race springs lowered my front about 2.2 and 1.7 in the rear. I'm running a 225/45/17 if that gives you a general idea. Btw, in the future please use the search thread. I believe there is a fitment thread already on what kind of wheels would fit our cars.

Will need to roll his fenders and go lower to make it work and work well. At least another 2 inches or so lower. As for tyre sizes, I think most will say 215/40 or 225/40..

If you guys are buddies, why don't you test fit them? It'll answer most of your questions.

Edit: damn you two ^ beat me to it .. Lol

It'll look retarted with only a 1.5" drop. Tell him to either slam it or get a more conservative spec like 18x8.

And next time, post in this thread --> http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?p=972543#post972543

sorry about that, i havent been on this forum for years. he is on coilovers. he claims to be 1.5 all around ,but to me it looks like 2 all around.
