I'm looking for a nice custom wheel/tire set for my new 2008 Accord. I know 18" will fit with 40 series tires but do not know if 19" with 40 series tires will fit. I don't want to go too thin on the tire because the rims will get wrecked. The car is a white pearl and I'm looking for good quality rims - this is my everyday car. Do people have any recomendations? How can you tell the good quality rims from the cheap ones? What mfgs should I stay away from? What about offsets, etc..

40 is to thin in my opinion... 18"19"20" will all fit depending on offset and rim width... fyi, try and stay with at least a 45 series

When I run the tire size calculator it shows I need to go to a 245/40 - 19 to maintain the proper clerances. If I go to a 245/45-19, do I run the risk of rubbing or throwing off the abs or speedometer? With regard to the offset, what do I need to know about this? I don't ant the tires sticking out the side of the car or rubbing. Any advise?

If you put any size other then factory the speedometer will be off no matter what.
I got 235/40/18 with a 35mm offset. Only problem was I needed hub rings to make it work.
