Yes, the offset is +50. I'm trying to find one more 94-95 EX rim to replace my broken one if anyone has one to sell.
Currently I have Prelude SI rims on the car. 15x6.5 rim, 205/55/15 Kumho Supra 712 tires, Eibach Prokit springs (1.2" drop I think). I also put Acura 3.5RL wheel studs on all four hubs with a 6mm spacer to prevent rubbing. I still rub slightly on the splash guard on the driver side but nothing that will hurt the tire or the splash guard.

P205/55R16 89H :Thats what I have, no drop though. They are quite a bit bigger (read that wide) than my stockies... Anyone think they are toooo wide? they dont rub at all, but Im talking as in the wideness had really hurt my gas milage. And they are only 16s, but I didnt want to sacrifice ride quality. ANd itll save me $200 when I have to replace the tires (as opposed to 17s)

Hi, i have 2 1994 accord coupes, one has 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the back, and the other has 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the back, the **** looks aggressive, i have the nsx scoops in the rear quarter panel and so its a little wider and it brings the rim flush to the edge of the well, looks good, then on the 2nd accord, i want to do the same thing but now im thinking i'll take another approach, what approach, as of yet, no clue, uhm, tire size and offset i have no clue, i wish i did...but yea...i have 2 other sets of miscellaneous wheels in my garage, uhm, Ace spade's in 17 inch which are for winter for the bodied accord, and a pair of white powder coated 16 inch six spoke knock-offs, my 1st wheels...! well im done with my sermon, hey Nick M, email me and tell me what I did wrong, you took off a point from my rating thingy, is it because i called yur policy gestapo-like? dont be mad...in technical stuff there is humor to be had...!

oh, on the bodied accord the drop is like 3.5 inches, and on the 2nd the drop is settled close to 2 inches...sorry, the offset i dont know, tire sizes are 235/35/18 (I think) for the front, 245/35/18 (i think) for the back, then the other is 215/45/17 front and 225/45/17 for the rear, somewhere along those lines, and let me tell you, that is punishment on NY/NJ roads! Nick M, email me so we can discuss this point you took off...!

why do you have wider tires in the back for a front wheel drive car.

because it looks cool...and the rear end of one of my 2 cars is a little wider because of the vents back there, so it fits good, so i did it for both, and plus rims are cheap these days, so i can change em out whenever, but for now, i like the setup, it looks good, and it doesnt really feel any different, except when i take a fast turn i feel safer (psychlogical for sure), thats really it, i dont know what to tell you, it was a brain idea of mine, why, you dont like that idea? you have to see it to appreciate it...know what i mean?
