Default 2006 Accord Couple Help

So I just purchased an Accord Coupe. 2006 to be exact... Last Honda I had was a 1987 CRX back in 1994... Memories.....
Anyway I just got the car last week.. it is an EX-L with low low miles.. Garage kept black on black.. basically mint...
I found a pair of wheels someone was selling for VERY inexpensive also. They are König – Again 5 Redstripe
Now for my taste I am going to have them either painted or powder coated.. having black on black with black wheels it too much.. im too old.. but I had stock 16's on there... I also do not know much about wheels and tires... So I am looking for help here... I am 99% sure those wheels fit.. (someone tell me yes 100% please)

So my questions for the König Again 5 redstripe:
1. The wheel does fit right?
2. What is a good size tire to go with? I live in Florida and want a comfortable quiet ride. Using a comparison calculator with the stock numbers I came up with 215/45/18.. Or?? Ideas??? maybe a 225??
3. Do I need wheel spacers?
4. Do I need aftermarket lug nuts?

Any info will help..
Thanks

Well let's see here: 1stthings...your Honda takes a 5x114.3 mm wheel bolt pattern, you'll have to measure that Konigs bolt pattern. Your Honda Cpe offset of between 42-55mm so you have to measure the ET or backspacing..I will show pictures at the end..if the konigs are 18" ? your tir size can be 225/40/18's, lugs ...Yes aftermarket and they would be 12x1.5mm nut lugs - better know as tuner lugs..wheel spacers ..NO!..not really safe unless you have them made special.
Hope this helps you beter with your larger wheel Quest..

Ang,
I found out the Wheel will fit perfect.... Thank you...
I attached a pic of the exact wheel I have
I will get the Tunger lugs.. 12x1.5
Still pricing power coating.. I may have them painted.. Anyone in Florida know any inexpensive powder coating places?
I still have questions about the tire size.. I am illiterate when it comes to tires.. you are suggesting a wider lower profile tire??
Again I am unsure about tire size.. I am looking for something will give me a smooth QUIET ride.. Maybe this has to do more with the actual brand of tire? I would assume the tire size has an effect also?
Anymore help would be beneficial..
Also anyone in Florida know where good tire deals are? I am new to Florida..
Thank you again for all your help!!!!!
