9.5" is too wide for a Prelude by at least 1.5". They will not fit in the wheel well regardless of the offset.

I doubt you can even go more than 7.5 without rubbing

8" wide would be about the max you could fit in the wheel well without modification to the fender well. The offset for an 8" wide wheel to fit on a 5th gen is a pretty narrow range around +47mm to +50 mm.
