meisters r nice, 18 r good if u wanna dump but still have a DD, but i wud recomend goin wider than 8 maybe 8.5 front,9 or so in the back. just my .02

 

go 8.5 or 9. and if you want it to look sick, get 9.5 or 10s ;]

 

how slow are your cars with 8.5 9 and 10 wide tires?

 

I know the trend now is wide and/or staggered wheels with very low offsets; I think it all depends on the look you're going for.

IMO a 18x8 you mentioned with a 40-45 offset and 225/40/18 tires would be very good for a daily driver

If you live up here in Toronto I'd say raise your car back up and run 16's with a meaty tire because the POT HOLE CITY WILL OWN YOU! HAHAHA

 

yea i was def looking for something with a lower offset, plus I think meisters only really look good with a lower offset, but thats just me. Also if i did an aggressive set up would 18x8.5 be good enough?

 

18x8.5 is aggressive enough for the average Accord owner. Anything wider is going to require running some neg camber.

 

If you're lowered with Tein coilovers already and want Work Meisters, I'd recommend an aggressive fitment. 18x8s will look conservative on a 7th gen accord, no matter the offset.

Look around the v6p board for pics of Work wheels on various accords to see what widths & offsets they're running, and see if you like anything. In my opinion, the 7th gen accords can easily handle a 9/9.5 setup while retaining the daily-driveability.

 

^+1

running 9.5 with no problem :]

 

I know people do it, but I just don't think a 225 stretched onto a 9.5" rear with a low offset and lots of camber is a good DD set-up.

It is very unforgiving in terms of ride (uncomfortable AND easily bent/curbed rims) and then theres the whole stretched/neg camber handling issues (which not everyone agrees is worse, but it is different).

For some folks these aren't issues at all, but certainly things I'd keep in mind before you drop $2k+.
For a DD I still like Blackhawks 18x9 +45 with 265/35/18. Plenty of meat for traction, and still looks very aggressive.

 

^For a 7th gen accord, both the 225 tire and massive negative camber aren't necessary. There's plenty of room in those wheel wells for a setup that isn't superstretched or butterflied out with camber.

As for as ride quality, my "stretched" setup of Falken ST115 225/35s on Work 19x8.5s/19x9s is extremely comfortable. Maybe it's my APEXi WS coilovers that help make the ride comfortable while being low, but the OP has Teins so his shouldn't be much different.

I agree that the OP should do enough research to know what he's getting himself into, but if there's a certain look he's wanting there's only a minimal amount of options he has. Work Meisters need a decent width & offset in order to look right due to their spoke design (they're made for the aggressive look in my eyes).

Haha, we'll agree to disagree on that one. I personally don't find a stretched 225/35 on a 9" to be too comfortable for my 45 minute, pot hole ridden commute, but maybe I am just too old...

I was actually referring to lilphotoman's setup in particular, with my comments and his is a 225 stretched on a 9.5. I will never doubt that it looks cool, it just wouldn't be my 1st choice for a DD, (but you are right about the meisters, they do need to be wide/low offset.)

IMHO the best looking offsets that don't too much stretch or too much fender work, are:
18x8 +30 (Milan's 350Z wheels)
18x8.5 +37
18x9 +40 (stretched)
18x9 +45

You could push it a little bit further for a more aggressive look, but i think these have a pretty nice balance.

 

thanks a lot, I guess now im leaning toward 18x9 and a lower offset. I have looked around and asked a few people who r running meisters but no one has gotten back to me but w.e....and i would most likely run a 235 tire with that, im not big on the whole stretched thing

 

235 on a 9 should be good. go with a +30 offset and itll look sick!

is 235 on 8.5 or 9 still stretching it tho?

 

No, they'd fit comfortably.

 

itll fit fine :]

 

alright thanks
