Default Running 18x8's on a 2008 Accord V6 Sedan

Hi All,

I want to run 18x8 wheels and tires on a 2008 Accord V6. A set of Ground Control coilovers (GC) is coming too. But, I'm wondering about rubbing. Is controlling rubbing merely a matter of the right height on the GC's?

Thanks.

You never mentioned wheel offset. That'll play a huge role in clearance issues.

Oh, right. I was told that an offset of +35 to +45 would work. The wheels I'm looking at are 18x8 with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 and come in an offset of +35.

ET35 is a little low, and may require a fender lip roll (even near stock ride height). Nearly all the wheels we recommend are ET43 or higher for reference

47 will work much better.
