im sorry but how the hell do you figure youll be able to fit that on your accord? those are wrx sizes not to mention how much your speedo will be off.
+ azenis run big anyway, their 205s are like 215s

I just got them mounted today for my 6th gen accord. The tire diameter is only .01" more than stock for a 6th. I will be able to tell you how they feel after this weekend.

I have 225/40-18 on my accord which is a 6th gen v6 and they never rub and still ride pretty well. They are not Azenis but i was noting that it is possible to fit 225/40's on an accord. edit for spelling.

Grip is night and day, ride is a lot harsher than my 15's since it has a stiffer sidewall and 45 sidewall. No tire in its price range can compare in dry traction. I also measured the width of the Azenis vs. another 225 tire on a rim with the same width and the Azenis was 5-7mm wider.

Yep... the shoulder is much more squared off than other tires, making the tread width wider than a comparable size tire.
