wow.....those are sexy wheels but damn, the fitment is just horrible! i know low offset and flush fitting wheels is the current trend and it looks good and all but that just sticks out waaaay too much. i recomend you either:
1) take them off and save them for another car
2) sell them and get something that fits your car
3) get a widebody to cover up the wheels
great wheels, great car, but poor excution. you get a C for effort.

you know, after looking at the picture some more and thinking about it. you may be able to make this set-up work if you dont mind a trade off in comfort, performance, and tire life. seeing as how the 7th gen accords are double-wishbone up front and multi-link in the rear, you should gain camber as suspension is compressed (lowered). so if you drop the front and rear enough, hopefully you'll gain enough negative camber to bring the top lip of the wheel flush with the fender, reducing the 'lowrider' look with the wheels sticking way past the fender. if your absolutely set on keeping the wheels on there and is going to drop the money for coilovers i would recomend cutting the stock springs (yes, cut the springs) and do some experimental test fitting to see how low you have to go and whether it would even work. if it doesnt, then i guess you either still need new suspension or need some new replacement springs 
o yea, and one more thing, as you probable already know though, rolling the fenders is going to be a must.

Re: 18x10 SSRs??? (darius_tii)
hahah lol
like i said they were sitting in my garage and i decided to throw them on
The rears stick out enough but i think with some negative camber it should fit...as for fronts...Im not sure...i was thinking about -3.5 degrees or so and it could work but iono
Not sure if they are worth it but whatves....i wanted to just see what it would look like..surprised 10s fit all around anyways...
and yes...that is my s14 in the garage...hence the wheels...
but either way need some nice coilovers...not the sleeve BS...looking for a ful coilover system, you know if those TL one will work?...if not anyone else have any?
hahah thanks for the...
compliments?...
thanks

agreed. even though lowering it may bring in the negative camber it will not clear the fenders without some trimming or more camber adjustments.
it looks 100000000X better on the s14 bro
. these accords need 20's to look VIP.
