[indodarknight]

wat's up Z's

my name is TommyT

from ATL

I own a 2011 honda accord coupe lx-s 5spd manual black on black

got a few mods on it already, nothing big, just little things

but the reason I join here in the 370z forum is 1 thing only,

that is, I'm very interested in the 19" rims of the 370z



I think it would look super sick on my 8.5gen accord

so I will be doing some research here, and hope you guys will help me out



anyway, back to subject, here are some pix of my car:







mods in order of install:

Tint Carbon 32%
12k HID lowbeam
Etou00 countersunk TL knob
OEM V6 Rear Deck Spoiler
P2R Throttle Body Spacers
UR Pulley
WeaponR I-Throttle
tsx switch blade

future mods in order:

window visor
short shifter and brushing
22mm progress rsb
full lip kits & fog lights (when money is saved)
coilover (when the time is right)
rims (which I have one in mind already)

that is all,

I hope me joining this forum get me the thing that I want!!!

thanks,
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,

Texas. No biggie and GL finding yourself a set. Make sure you post up some pics when you do, I am curious to see how it looks!

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.

You'd be surprised as to what size wheels guys run on those Accords. They get pretty nasty sizes and offsets for them.

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

Welcome! IMHO, the Honda HFP 19" wheels would look better on your Accord. I had a '08 coupe (black, like yours) and did the full HFP package (lowering springs, wheels, and body kit). Those wheels look sick on a black Accord coupe.

[indodarknight]

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:

















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.

its not about the fwd thing... its more like,

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

and I'm not a fan of the VIP stuff anyway
