Icon2 Need advise on wheels

Hey whats up!

I own a Accord inspire 2003 with 18"x8.5J rims on it, the wheel offset is quite high, in a tolerance of 50-55mm.

I have a small issue though, my front rims are off the fender and rear ones are rubbing the fenders which is dissapionting, so I decided to get me a 19" form Axis or from XIX but all available in stock is 19"x8.5J. However I was thinking on a range of 40-45mm off-set could suit it properly.
I was trying to find out the measurements of the wheel house but Im not able to.

Im a lil worried if those rim's will be fit properly with out rubbing.

If anyone expericed this issue I would be more than happy to hear from you!

Rubbing is most frequently caused by using the wrong size tires, as well as the wrong offset.

What size tires did your car have when it came from the factory? (The Inspire is a model not sold in North America so I can't look it up.)

oh yea Im pretty aware of the tires and wheels, Im just trying to know what measurements that can suit this honda. Ive seen allot through cardomain and other sites hondas sitting on 18 and 19 freely with non of these issues.

The inspire is more likely similar to the euro version in all parts but they just look different.
