Newbie....Just picked up an 07 Coupe EX-L
Stumbled on a really nice 07 Coupe, 4 cyl, 5 speed auto...40K. Taffeta White, Tan leather. Love the car. The only blemish on the car are two rims badly rashed and the tires are oem...so its time to do tires and wheels. I see the oem wheels are around 19.5 lbs. I was looking at a set of 10 Accord rims/tires that are new takeoffs. 235/45-18...which I know is a little tall (like 2% speedo error) but the wheel wells need filling anyway. Wondering about the weight difference compared to the original 205/60-16's. Can't find the weight on the rims but the tires are 27 lbs from tirerack.
First, will they fit without rubbing? Do I need to worry about the offset?
Will I give up ride quality?...really feel like this car is a very well balanced driving experience.
Last question...to wing or not to wing. Sometimes I think its great without it but then I see one with and think...hmmm. Thanks.

First of all congrats , second the 2010 are a bit heavy i had them on my car , are u dropped, if ur not dropped the rims with 235/45/18 will make ur car look pretty high so u wont be rubbing, the offset is not a problem which for those rims is 55, and yes wing it.....

Thanks for the reply. I know that setup would be a bit tall but have no plans to drop it. I've seen some nice looking coupes with the 10 rims. I almost scored a OEM Taffeta spoiler from a dealer for $200 but it got sold before I could get to it. Oh well. Again....thanks for the reply. Anyone got a suggestion for some rims? I've scoured the pics in the wheel thread.

Ok...I picked up an OEM Taffeta white spoiler. I still like the clean look without but I think the spoiler will add something. I've looked at these 2010 Acura TSX 18" rims as an OEM look. Comments? I was hoping this would be a buy and drive car but obviously I just can't leave well enough alone. BTW...anyone know the weight on this wheels or where I could get that info. Thanks.
