Here are some pics:

Thanks guys, the front is 18"x8J and the rear is18"x9J. Offset is +37, I'm still wondering what size tires I should get. I know I have to stretch them to avoid rubbing but I'm not too familiar with tire sizes, any help would be appreciated.

215/225 would be fine. or maybe 205 and 215 if you don't mind the small diameter in the front. Don't get the FK452 if you need a stretch.

215 or 225/40R18 front and 235/40R18 rear. I'd like to see these on the wagon, OnTop has the widebody accord sedan and it looks pretty tight. Post the pix when you get them mounted. My buddy also has the 90's wagon, so this would be somewhat good reference for him too,

I had somewhat similar design on my accord before.

Mine were 17*8 and 17*9 and 38mm offset. I used 215/45/17 tires all around and it did not rub. I did have some camber that made it flush all around.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll have to go to a tire shop to see which sizes will fit. Might try the 215 and 225 combo. I need to sell my old wheels before I can buy tires. PM me if anyone is interested in them (they are SSR Kakimoto's 4/5x114.3, 17").

could you do me a favor :)

Any chance the rears are Super Low disc? Could you measure how much brake clearance the they have? My calipers stick out 14mm past the rotor and I was wondering if they will clear. about 12" rotors.

Hey I'll let you know when I finally have time to fit the wheels on my car, right now I've got too much school work on my hands, sorry.

do you plan on repainting your car? id recommend rolling the rear lip flat, well you wont be able to get it super flat but as much as you can. OR trim the lip off, not all of it, there will be spot welds joining the outer quarter panel to the inner wheel well. cut straight down the center of the spot welds so that al least half the spot weld is still holding the 2 panels together.... youll only be cutting off about 1/4" but its something, and you wont have to worry about the 2 panels seperating down the road....
