Rim Size, Width & Offset

[flatrex]

Lot of users already used that fitment, depending on the drop, negative camber apply.

I'm just curious because this is my first cb so I'm trying to figured out tire size along with that diameter and width wheel......I'm used to Ef civics lol and these have a much different suspension setup. I want to avoid fender rolling

What's wrong with a little camber?

I wasn't asking because I didn't know. You are going to have camber if you want those specs, there's no way around it. If you do try to go back to OEM specs, you will rub. You either live with the camber, which is not a big deal as everyone on cb7tuner makes it out to be, you run slimmer tires, which I would not advise, or you do fender work.

"unless you drive in England, Japan or another country where they drive on the wrong (sorry) left side of the road"

HAHAHA XD There's some good information! Thanks for sharing.

No problem.

directly from that website: "however the current trend is to slightly negative settings to increase vehicle stability and improve handling."

there is absolutely nothing wrong with mild to moderate camber, most of the time you wont even notice uneven tire wear unless your toe is also out of spec.

I know what the trends are. Anything -1* - +1* is considered to be within Honda specs. Any more than that, and yes the camber will wear tires faster as I mentioned before. Your tires may last only 24,000 miles instead of 36,000 miles. Over a 10 year period, this can equate to almost a $2000 saving to keep the correct camber. I personally don't mind a little, but anything over -1* will lead to premature wear. That's why Honda specified those numbers. They've done their research and engineering.

Also, there are trade offs with respect to tire grip and wear. The more the grip, the more friction that's present. The more friction, the more tire wear you get. Simple physics and dynamics.

i had -3 in the rear on my scion and had no wear problems at all with tires, also have a lot in front on the accord and everything is wearing well.

between me and the guys in my crew, we've had minor to excessive camber, among a bunch of different cars, and ive found that as long as you arent excessive and stay in the -1 to -3 / 4 range and keep your toe in spec that your uneven wear will be minimal to not noticeable.

That's an example. I have one too.

I had a '93 SE Accord with a stock suspension. My camber was off some and toe was within specs. My Michelin's only lasted two years and a few months. The insides of the tires were destroy, down to slicks basically. The out side still had some meat. When I put my new Michelin's on, the tech at Mercedes where I worked who put my new tires on for me told me to get a alignment as the camber is what destroyed the inside of my tires. Did I mentioned he was one of their top techs. I'll see if I can find pictures of it.
