Default Would I still need spacers?

Right now I have 20mm in rear and 15mm in front on 18" 3GS rims and its pretty flush (enough to sometimes rub in the front over bumps). If got
( 2 ) 19x8.5 et30

( 2 ) 19x9.5 et25

Would I still need spacers to look ok? Would I have to shaver/roll anywhere?

depending on your ride height (if coils) slammed no tire gaps put a 20 in front and 15 rear and u should be good!

19x8.5 + 10 x9.5+10 perfecto!! imo

nope i dont, otherwise there would be no need to ask right? I had 215 on my accord about 10yrs ago. This is a daily driven family car, I am not into cutting fenders and replacing tires every two months just so people can see me drag my exhaust on the ground. I still want it to look OEMish, here is what it looks like now:




I just want a bit bigger wheels than 18..

Suspension is done, the wheels I have are just fine but I want to go bigger. A set of taillights is not exactly an accessory and the exhaust was a steal..
