Recommended tire size for the 18 in Honda factory performance wheels is P215/40R18, the HFP 18 in wheel is 18x7 45 mm off set. Hope this helps you out with tire size.

Quite helpful, thanks! That confirms what my research produced. All that is left is to work out all the price/availability issues.

One of the tire vendors suggested alternate sizes of 215/35 and/or 225/40. I'm realistically concerned about ride height and wheel well clearance. For obvious (to some) reasons I wasn't willing to enter that conversation before now. Would you believe it was one of the first issues that occurred to me when I decided to upgrade the wheels? Even now, I'd probably take the discussion to the wheel/tire section of the forum.

Thanks to all for the warm welcomes!

looks great! And good to hear you got the manual Accord, I've heard nothing but bad things about their automatics. Been considering a 6th gen Accord to replace my civic if I don't get a Subaru wagon instead.
