What rims will fit

[andrew22888]

Ok I have a 91 accord 4 door. I am gonna drop it two inch and put on some rims. But with a 2 inch drop whats the biggest rim I can put on i'm thinking like a 17 with a 45 series tire will that fit?

[markrutherford]

yes 17s will fit. Im not sure about 45s but i know 40s will fit. I know a guy that has 18s on a 3inch drop

I had 205/40/17's on my old one.. no rubbing at all .. also was dropped two inches.. stil had plenty of room. so 45's should still be fine.

I currently have 17x7 on mine with 205/45r17 and I have and use sometimes my set of 18x7.5 with 215/40r18 all around so that will fit no problem man...

Be sure to get the proper offset, as that will make a difference.
You may have to remove the plastic splash guard in the fenderwell, or you may rub it when making tight turns. I did with less than 2" on 205/40/17 Falken Ziex 512 on 7.5" wide Falken Hanabis... I can't remember if the offset was +38 or +42.

Ok this is exactly why i'm in the beginner section lol. But what is offset explain a little more. And if by splash guard you mean the mud flap things then they are already off.

Offset is a measurement of where the wheel actually mounts in relation to the width of the wheel. Low offset wheels will stick out, and high offset wheels will be sunk in. The link JoshM just posted will probably explain in a lot more detail.

The splash shields I'm referring to are the plastic sheets that go under the fender. Look in your wheel well. Knock on the part that sits above and in front of the tire. If it's plastic, that's what I'm talking about. If it's not, then they may already be off.

so basically from the center of the rim to the lugs where it contacts the hub correct. Also even if I get deep dish rims can you still get different offsets on deep dish rims. Sorry I just don't wanna mess anything up. And also I read the thread lowering FAQ 101 and I wanted to do the H&R springs and the Bilstein struts. But I can't find them anywhere. Does this site have like a parts website that alot of this stuff can be found.

what kind of chamber, if any, should i expect

if choose to have a 2" drop on 18x7.5 +40 on 215/40/18?

[Cb_JoeyG]

What do you mean by what kind of chamber?

[Dr. Shuffles]

What do you mean by what kind of chamber?

The 36th Chamber, of course:



Or maybe he meant "camber".

I'm rubbing on a 3" drop with F&F Type Is. I seriously need to invest in some newer ones with damper adjustment. Damn regular maintenance is taking my money.

I'm on 18 x 8 OEM Acura TL wheels with 215/45/17 tires and a +45 offset, I believe.

[jewelproject]

Sorry camber...

how off would it be....estimate?
