Default CD5-7 with 18/19 inch rims

Hi ive been looking around for bit and know there is alot of discussion about what wheel size looks best on CD accords and that the body shape changes for each year/version but i was wondering if 18 or 19s would look good on a cd5 without it being lowered. I have a cd5 that was recently lowered on 17" (You can check it out in suspension threads) but was thinking instead of lowering i could just put in bigger wheels/tyres to fill up the huge wheel gap. So does anyone have any pictures of 18-19 inche wheels on a CD accords?
Thanks

I would only up go up to 17" on my Accord. Anything else would be too big. Thats just me though.

you can put bigger tires on it, but lowering it will ultimately get rid of the gap.

You NEVER want to use tires/wheels to lower a car.

Lower the vehicle properly with the suspension. Going down in tire size and what not to achieve a "lowering" effect is worthless and will sacrifice ride quality, etc.

That is Takezo's car who is primarily on hondasociety.

*edit* Whoops, misread that!

Larger wheels will help fill in the wheel gap some but the front fender is cut higher than the rear, so you will always have more gap in the front than rear assuming you don't lower it.
