You'll either have to do some fender rolling or tire stretching.

with the right offset you wont have to touch your fenders. lower it cuz if not you're going to have some serious 4x4 status.

that said, i've seen a few with 20" wheels. some look like ***, and some look good. one exceptionally looked well with the oem lip kit and a nice drop.

IMO 17s is the biggest rims on a 5th gen that will still look good.

I have the same car and I think you would be fine. I don't know about how well it would work if your car was lowered though.

The biggest you should go with is 18" anything bigger and youre driving a donk! I got a 5th gen. with 18" Motegi with 40 series tires, not lowered and it looks clean.

5th gen... my bad. i still agree with 19s on this model because i had a friend that had some 19" axis wheels that simply looked outstanding on his car, but not 20s. that accord has a great wheelwell for a 19 wheel and you dont have to tuck the wheel to make it look low. that said, the 20s i've seen were on a 2000+ cant recall exactly what year but it was like 2001-2002.

go for the 19s. you'll be fine and look good.
