My car is lowered with H&R 1.7 and 1.5 springs. I have 17 inch rims right now but my 18's r on the way. Will my 18's rub?
Tire size will be 225/40/18 (i live in NY....the roads require a lot of tire!)

225 is too wide for your drop. your going to have to go to 215. my friend has the same year accord with an speedtech drop of 2 inches all around and he still rubs with a 215.
what did you do with your 17's? Wanna sell them to me???
I thought so.......
My car looks much lower than the H&R rating. I don't know if the springs settled that low or what. Do u think it'll rub if i go 1.5 all around??

By the way.....i already gotta buyer for my 17's
white accord 94.......

Assuming u have 18's..........what drop do u have??
Is that 1.8 all around??
I have 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the back and my car looks much lower.
i would say its 2 inches atleast cuz it settled more. i got 1 finger gap in the front and none in the back.

I drop 3" rear and 3.25" front...no rub, but I use 215/35/18.
Good luck with yours ;)
