BTW, those are a far better choice than the Accord wheels!

I just came across the same set of wheels. what did it take to get these to fit properly? Sorry if the info is out there, i'm just trying to make sure its worth it to get these wheels. also where'd you get the center caps?

Oh damn, sorry about that. i never notice those things. anyway, CIONIDE I know you're very knowledgeable on offsets and ar te go to guy for fitment. Do you have any idea what would be a decent spacer to run on these wheels? not looking to be hella flush or anything. maybe just sorta flush? Just dont want to ruin any drivability, i dont know much about the wheels.

The OEM 05-06 RSX wheels pictured above are 16x6.5 with +45 offset. I don't know where boooosty came up with the +40 offset. Your pic in post #8 above is on the stock springs. Are you going to lower it, or have you? That may affect my recommendation. I'm personally not a fan of putting spacers on the front hubs of FWD daily drivers; the hubs already experience enough stress from both driving & steering without adding an additional set of studs & lug nuts to the mix. If you do want to push the front wheels out with spacers also, let me know, along with any potential lowering info and I'll give you my thoughts on spacers sizes.

I'm planing on dropping but just a little, nf210 or the eibach pro kit, something along those lines. If it's a bad idea to put spacers on than no big deal. Maybe I could do just the back? then again the car might not like it if the wheels aren't in line with each other.

I'd go with the NF springs, they will even out the ride height much better than the Pro-Kit, and they have a more comfortable ride. The OEM springs ride about 1.5" higher in the rear than the front.
NF drop = 1.0"F/1.7"R
Pro-Kit = 1.0"F/1.2"R
My suggestion would be to leave the front wheels without spacers, and to put 15mm spacers on the rear. That will push them out to match the fronts for distance from the fenders since the rear hubs sit in from the fenders about 1/2" more than the fronts. 15mm Ichiba version 2 spacers come with the new studs already pressed into the spacers, making the job really easy. No problems at all with running spacers only in the rear, that's what many xB owners do who run spacers. On my 2008 xB I was running 17x7 +43 front wheels and 18x8 +30 rear wheels with no issues at all (other than some rear fender rubbing with the big 245/40 tires).

Thanks for the help man. I'll look int that. Just curious, are the ksport springs a bad idea? I hear they level out a little weird but for the money they save I've been considering them as long as they're made well.

From what I hear they leave more gap in the front than in the back. Actually I think it's more of a drop than I was planing on but here's a thread on them
