    Its possible but, if you are planning to lower the car expect rubbing even if you dont slam the car an 10in wheel may not clear thethe knuckle arms. Keep in mine spacers plus fender pulling and trimming. I say stick with 9in max to prevent some rubbing issues

      Are you planning on running flares? If not 8.5 - 9" should be sufficient, just run some lower offsets and negative camber if your are going for the "stance" look.

      Search around on Nissan 240 forums, i think they rock crazy wide 16" wheels alot.

              If you're widening the fenders, then you'll want a lower than stock offset.

                It will be hard to find a 10in or wider wheel for the accords. Especially
                in 4-lug. 5-lug, and you'll have more options.

                If it were me, I'd go with a 9in. 2-piece wheel. Then look around
                on forums to get wider step lips. Like the vw guys do.

                    ^ This.

                    For 9" wide wheels, the highest offset you can run is+42 (give or take 3mm)...Any higher than that, and your wheels would start hitting the knuckles..

                    For 9.5" wide wheels, you can't go any higher than +35 offset, and for 10" wide wheels, you can't run any higher than +29 offset.

                    If you plan on running 10" wide wheels all around, will you be doing this the proper way, or the ghetto way? By ghetto I mean ridiculous negative camber, and/or ridiculous tire stretch...If you're doing it the ghetto way, rolled and pulled fenders should be more than enough..But if you're actually doing this to make the car handle better, then you're going to need a lot of fender work! Keep in mind, 10" wide wheels at +29 offset, when compared to say a stock '96-spec ITR wheels (15x6", +50), or any other OEM wheels that fit the Accord, will stick out 70mm farther at the very least!

                    As for wheel options, I know that SSR and Work both carry 16" wheels that can be made 9" wide, and wider..I'd definitely pick those over Diamond Racing

                    Hope that helps!
