Which Accord - current or previous gen (pre-'03)?
If the former, then yes - you will.
Bear in mind the point of changing wheels and tyres is to run the same overall diameter/circumference, so you've not done anything regarding its ride height.
Drop it at least 35-40mm, and consider stiffer anti-roll bars as well.

Ah, then probably 20-25mm to be on the safe side.
