In my case, I have 2 sets of wheels that are both 18x7.5 +42. One set clears my front calipers and the other doesn't.

Update on what I'm looking at buying.
Prices include tax+shipping
4x 19" OEM HFP RIMS ($1,391.88 - Honda of Temecula [direct from honda price is 2,000])
4x General Exclaim UHP 235/35ZR19 ($761.46 - America's Tire Company)
4x Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 205/60R16 ($413.56 - America's Tire Company)
2x Ingalls Rear Camber Kit ($239.21 - Ingallseng.com)
Tein Super Street Coilovers ($1,140.00 - ebay)
2x Front Ball Joints?
Total: $3946.11 + installation costs
Go big or go home + If it's worth doing it's worth doing right.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure about getting is the Coilovers.
I just don't know which brand is better. Eibach, Tein, KSport, Nuespeed, H&R, etc. etc.

Those already got sold Mike. You're a day late and a dollar short.

Yeah. I'm guessing you have a V6. Bummer.

Tein SS coilovers + Ingalls camber kits have been purchased.
Still on the edge about the rims.

i know this thread is a bit old, but im looking for some guidance. I really want to lower my car without switching out the shocks. Eibach pro kit is looking like my best option, but i was wondering if the stock shocks can handle the sportlines, which are almost an inch lower than the pro kit, and of course i will be getting a camber kit/alignment.

Sure, you can go ahead and do it if you want, but just remember that you're going to need to replace your shocks because they're going to wear much faster with the lower ride height.

From experience, I had a shock blow on my v6 coupe when I put the Tein S-tech springs on stock springs. I think I only had them on for a few months too. I switched to the tein SS coilovers and punched myself for not doing that to begin with.
I'd recommend upgrading shocks if you're doing any lowering..
