i have a 2008 honda accord and im thinking about buying a set of G37 OEM 19in rims. i think the bolt pattern is the same 5x114 and the offset is pretty close but i just wanted to make sure that this will fit properly without too much modification or wheel spacers.

if you'd be willing to help me out with a quick test fit please contact me. im just looking to test out a set of the OEM 19s before i buy them. i am located in the socal/los angeles area.

if you're looking to sell these please let me know.

these are the rims im looking for:

i just pulled the first picture i found on google. im not sure who kenny is but he did a nice job with this G. its a clean lookin sedan.

iiiiiekoiiiii

iiiiiekoiiiii

If u were in Brooklyn NY, id let u try mine, I have them off my car for winter lol

fongaroos

ahhh i c. turbo'd G. sounds like a pretty mean setup! i was thinking about getting a G when the 1st gen came out. i test drove it and wow your cars are FAST!

back on topic, it seems like g37 OEM 19s are kinda tough to find. im not seeing a lot of them on craigslist or ebay.

what is the market price for these things?

fongaroos

HOTNESS! thanks but im in socal. i was living in manhattan for YEARS and i just moved to los angeles.

iiiiiekoiiiii

Are you aware that the 19" rims are staggered, the rears are wider than the fronts?

If you must have them on a FWD Accord, at least try to pick up either 4 front ones, or 4 rear ones.

fongaroos

thanks for the heads up! i am aware that they are staggered rims but i dont think it really makes any difference.

i think ill have a really hard time finding 4 front ones or 4 rear ones. its hard enough as it is to find these as a set.

ive run staggered rims on fwd, rwd, awd cars before. its not really a big deal.

it won't fit...wheels too wide and offset not correct...the fronts might fit, but the rears should definitely not fit

The reason they put wider rims in the rear is to reduce oversteer/induce understeer. You might experience a bit more understeer on your FWD Honda, which already has a tendency to understeer. Probably not enough to make much of a difference in everyday driving.

i was running a set of rims a while ago 20x8 in the front and 20x10 in the rears. i dont think the width is the problem. i think the real issue is the offset. i know the offset is pretty close (only a few mm off from my last set of rims) but i know that different wheels require different offsets.

tire brands and specs also play a huge part in this.

thats why im looking around to see if anyone has time to do a quick testfit first.

thanks for all your input guys! i really appreciate the help! now if i could only find someone local to do a testfit really quick.

yah... i had a B6A4 fwd and i didnt notice much of a difference in handling. i forgot the offset but i was running 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rears.

im a pretty conservative driver... not much spirited driving so i dont think it will make that much of a difference.
