questions about 18''s

I am getting 18" Konig Flatlines in a week, I have a 5th Gen accord sedan, but I was wondering about a few things... what is a good safe drop to not rub the wheels ? Also, I heard something about tire wear being really bad on 18's? How much worse is it if thats true? How many K miles will it last? Thanks in advanced.

you should be safe with 1.5 or less 2 is kinda pushing it , only time tire wear becomes a prob is if your camber is off , you can fix that with a camber kit other then that its pretty even

You should be able to drop up to 2.5" and have no problems. It all depends on what type of setup you want with your suspension. And the BIGGEST part that is important to wether you will rub or not is waht offset you get for your rims. And the width of the rim also plays a SMALL role in that as well. So first find out what type of rims you are getting and find out what width and offset it has. THEN we can tell you if it will fit without rubbing or not.
