They should physicaly fit but probaly have a weird offset. Most FWD wheels are positive ofset, where as RWD cars have a negitive offset

And of course Fila is wrong.

Is it a V6 or 4cyl Accord??

V6 = 5 lug
4cyl = 4 lug

Accord 4 lug = 114.3 or 4.5 bolt spacing
Your car has a 4.25 bolt spacing.

So in short... NO

So sorry claude, I forgot that they are 114 MM. I was told that they were 4x4.25. Supprised you didn't even comment about how I was correct in the offset comment

I'm not sure about the diameter of the hubs, either. Wheels have to correctly fit a car to be safe.
I ran wheel spacers on all four corners of my '96 for over two years. I never had any problems, but I've heard horror stories about aftermarket spacers.
Simply put, it's best to find wheels that correctly fit the car.

I have seen '99+ Cougar wheels on a Fox four-eye Thunderbird, however.

Isn't anyone else worried about the biggest problem of all?  HONDA wheels on a Thunderbird?!?!  In my book, that is a pretty serious crime...  hmm, almost makes me sad!  LOL

Congratulations! You were 50% right. That would get you an F in school. Ho-ray for an F.

Try and think before you post. Are you sure of your answer? Pretty certain? Guessing? Pulling it out of your hindquarters?
It's nice to be the first reply to a technical question, but a wrong answer is worse than not replying at all.
