Im not a expert but I think 7.5" is kinda narrow and having that width and +42 offset would make sunken look rather than flush to the fender.
I would get something wider and little bit more aggressive offset.

Dude you have to stagger those baby's, 19x8.5 should be for the front with high disk, so you can upgrade your brakes later. 19x9.5 or 19x10 s/b for your rears. Don't waste your time with 7.5 unless you're driving a skate board.

19x7.5+42 wheels are made for Accords. Look for some wider rims with wider tires. Makes your car look like a Corvette from behind. Definitely a better look for a Sport Coupe...not to mention the traction.

I like the 19x8.5+30 suggestion. I have 19x9.5+40 in the back. They stick about the same as a 19x8.5+30 and they are on the verge of looking sunk in, but still looking good nonetheless.
