here's a little food for thought. i was really bored so i thought i'd diagram it out for you.

5th G accord,
17x7.5 +45 offset rims, dropped with skunk2 coilovers, slightly tucked in on the front and flushed on the rear. you must roll the front fender line with baseball bat, otherwise your fender will be messy.

you guys forgot to note how wide your rims are and what offsets.

2", 3", 5" drop doesn't say much about the rim width/offset.
