Oki... well, after slapping my fugly body kit on, and painting my Accord.... I want to get some rims. After browsing online I found some rims I would like to get but I don't exactly know if they will fit. I have a 1998 Accord LX 4 cylinder. Here are the wheel specs:

Size: 18" x 7.5"
Pattern: universal 4lug (4x100 / 4x114.3)
Color: Black
Offset: +42

Do you guys think that will fit with out a problem?

how low are you ? if you are more than 1.5" low the wheels will rub against the inner fender in turns with 215mm wide tires. other than that the wheels should fit with no problem

I ain't that low..... I only plan to drop it for the shows.... that's about it.... and I just did some more research on 6th gen Accord and custom wheels..... It looks like 18 inch rims with 42 offset are common application for 6th Gen Owners. Hehe... maybe I should have done some google researching before I posted here....

but it has been a while since my last post... so I might as well post something ;)

The correct tire size is 225/4018, which is 25.1 inches in diameter, which is perfect because your stock 195/6515's are 25.0 inches. DO NOT GET 215/35.... THEY ARE ONLY 23.9!!! You'll be fine in the front, but you'll need to roll your rear fender lips in, and maybe dremmel a bit off of the inside of the rear bumper where it bolts to the quarter pannel, depending on what kind of kit you got, and how it fits.
