18's, although we went a tad narrow on the tires (will be rectified next spring):

Heres some pics of 18"s on my car:






They are sitting on 225/40/18 BFGoodrich KDW TA-2 Tires. The only problem i have is if you have the Accord CAI kit on ure car the tire will rub a little on the inner wheel well plastic with the piping being right there, but it is only when i turn my wheel hard to the left and am backing out. But besides that i love them they look so good on the celi and if you did a drop it would look awesome IMO.

the reason is, that you have 40 tyres and not 35 tyres

Offset on mine is a +38mm

I have 17"X7's at a +42mm offset. A little sucked in in the back, but I don't mind. Tires are unfortunately sized at 205/40-R17. Probably the summer will lead me to purchase some 215/45-R17 tires.

i would like the 8's for tread reasons, but im clueless on offset on which one would be better...anyone can help here?

You are correct, but i decided to go with 40's when i severely bent a rim with 35's on the car. Plus, the intake still rubbed with 35's on there. It only rubs when the wheel is turned. A small noise sacrifice to make sure i have less of a chance of bending a rim..

Go for 18's man, you know it makes sense

Here's my lil bubba............which is for sale





The ride isn't that harsh or bumpy with 18's on, but then when I get into a 'normal' car & drive it, I think it goes around corners like a boat

I've got 225/40/18 Bridgestone rubbers too

for the guys with 225's, whats your rim width? 7.5?

the tire guy here said i (on the 8 wide rim) go 245-30-18, but i kinda want to get more tire like 35's or 40's, but he said then there may be some rub, anyone have 245 or 255 on an 8 wide with anything other that 30? and does it rub? thanks

Even though most of you probably don't/won't like my mags They are 18x7.5" which as you can see sit under the guard alot. If I was going for a new set of mags I'd definately go 8" wide, maybe even wider on the back....
