Yes they will fit, I think 8.5 is pushing it a bit, but yes they will fit with no problem. Make sure you go with a 235/35/19 for the tire size. That's as close as you will get to the factory rim and tire diameter. This will keep your speed-odometer true. Hell, I have 20's on mine, I just had to go as big as I could without raising the car. Infact, I lowered my car (1.5 inchs). As long as you stay with the over all diameter, you can go as big as 20''. 03-06 have the biggest wheel wells of all the accords, so I took advantage of of it....

 

Its kinda funny how stupid and lazy noobs really are. There is a thread UBER similar to this just above it, well, there was, I just bumped this one up to the top.

First one, no way. Second one, cutting it close, but probably.

I say 19x8 at the most!!!! with a 45 offset, then lower it at least an inch...

First off let me thank for the reply.. i should have explained this a lil more..but what i'm looking for is something (big wheel) with a lip on it. i choose the 19" x 8.5 because i figure i would beable to play with the offset. i thougt about doing the offset of 34 because i want the wheel to come out to the fender. and not stick in the the typical wheels. i have gone to tirerack.com and searched for wheels there and they say the 19" x 8.5" will fit... with no rub.. my question to u all or u (sense im a noobi) do u think this will work... im looking for pix with the offset and can't find one.. thank again..

Well, what you want to do is get your regular offset that they recommend and the fact that the wheel you want is a 19x8.5 will bring the wheel out like you want. On a 7th gen, I wouldn't go no smaller than 235/35/19. A 225 will have to be stretched on a 8.5, which will look like garbage. Do the 235 and you will be fine. Only 03-06 can take that wide of a tire without having to change anything.....

 

They'll probably fit but it'll be definately a squeeze.

The guy next door to me has 8.5 on his 03, it will work...
