Will these alloys fit my 7th gen tourer with spigot rings fitted

I am becoming a bit confused with all the measuments

Thanks
 
I do know that the 7th gen will Accept Mazda RX8 wheels with spigot rings. Not sure if these are the same size as the RX8 wheel?
 
they will fit, but offset 52 means that wheels will be deep in the wheel arch, imo this look quite odd, but it's only my opinion, anyway they will fit with spigot rings

Ok thanks so what is the standard offset for accord wheels (i dont want them any further in then they are now)

cheers
 
I'm sure Fahad had Mazda RX wheels on his 7th gen but these look different
 
I'm sure oem offset is 45 or 50 so shouldn't be sunk in too much further only 2-7mm. Should have enough thread on the studs to add 5mm spacers if you wanted to or 15mm bolt ons would be fine
 
Stock 7th gen offset is 55 on the alloys, so if these are 52, we're only talking about the wheels sticking out 3mm more than your stock wheels do right now. So what you're looking at should be ok. Personally, I'd go for a lower offset wheel if possible, so they stick out a little more. Stock wheels tend to sit fairly deep into the wheel arch for my liking and I like my boy racer style look with the wheels closer to the outer edge of the car. But if you like these rims and want to get them, they should fit fine.
 
if you want to use spacers I'd recommend hub centric as wheels should seat on the hub not on the bolts only, but the minimum thickens of hub centric bolts is 7mm and this means that you'll have to change your bolts as they will be to short...so if you don't like the look of the wheels seating deep, then I'd suggest to find some wheels with lowers offset 45-38 ;-)

Got 5mm hubcentrics with integrated spigot adapter on the cr-v, ideal for hondas and not having to change out the studs for longer ones
 
I don't know if crv have longer studs, but when I've put 5mm spacers on the rear and nuts were holding only few mm, so it's not so safe ;-)
