Our Accord recently hit a nail causing a slow leak. The puncture is too close to the wall to repair. It is due for some new tires anyway...

What I was wondering...could I put my Q45 alloy 17x7.5s on the Accord? Bolt patterns are the same 5x114.3.
Just not sure about the offsets (which I know nothing about). I do know that the Accord has a 'High' offset.

The reason for this: to possibly pick up some stock 350z 18" rims for the Q!
Are there any issues with putting 18" 350z rims onto the Q? Don't want to mess with spacers and such.

I also saw some 19s that look like off of an M45. Would these work too?



Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone here...
Thanks for your help!

Jack up the Honda and bolt one on! If it clears the brakes and suspension you should be OK. The Z rims will work, IIRC...

Thanks Lokim,

I finally found out the offset on my Q's stock alloys= 45mm.

The Accord is at my Dad's (do my work there cuz he's got all the tools), so
I will mount one the next time I am there.

Thanks

To answer your question, the M45 rims will not fit without spacers. They work super-nice with a good set of spacers, I have 06' M45 Sport rims and they work very well, but I had to invest $260 on a good set of billet aluminum spacers to make them work.

I will be looking at some 18" 350z Touring wheels for sale.
Would these bolt right on without any offset issues?

Thanks
