Will 18" rims fit under our accords (not lowered) without cutting anything? If not, I'm gonna go 17's. I'm lookin at the Motegi MR-7's in chrome right now :)

If you haven't yet, you should read this:

18" wheels will fit with the correct offset (45 mm) and a reasonable width. A usable tire size is list in the thread linked above. Do you know much do those wheels weigh? You'd get better performance going with a 15" or 16" wheel instead.

Yeah I know about the weight, but I have too many tickets so I can't really race or anything anyways. Plus I have a set of 14" chrome and 14" steelies if I wanna go cruise. Thank you though.

If you have pot holes, stay away from 18" rims.

Peace.

a 15" rim with more than 35mm offset and a with of 7inches for a 205/50-R15s would be your best bet. I like the way my car rides. Better than expected. anything lower than 50 profile is pushing the limit IMO.
