u shouldnt need anything. typesbaby has 19 inch rims and she is dropped pretty low so u should be fine

[cdnacord]

sweet thanks i was nervous

i guess i'll still be able to stay low with the suspension. but if typesbaby go low with 19's i should be fine 215/35 is not too wide is it?

215/35's will be fine. I have those tire sizes on my accord too. But you might want to consider a camber kit if you are dropped because your tires will get ate up real quick and 18" low-pros aren't really cheap. I'm dropped about 3" all around and I have front camber kits. I will have washers in the back too; as soon as I get those damn bolts off. You might need to roll your rear fenders too because my 18's rubbed in the rear when I first put them on until I rolled the fenders, but then again, it all depends on how low you're dropped.

2.25 on GC coilovers with 18" motegi's 45mm offset, 225/45/18 and i shredded left rear tire before i had them rolled
also, needed a camber kit for the front, rear was totally fine though

*edit - 225/40/18 is my tire size. lol, i dont know why i said 45.

and PRIMO, your post underneath this one is an open debate type post. there is no "proper" tire size for 18's, there are however ones that work and dont. i mean for me, i will always run 225/40/18's on my cb7. i like the meat on the tire and i dont have any problems rubbing (now lol)

215/40/18s is the proper tire size for 18inch rims to be used on our cb7s.

what do you guys mean by geting fenders rolled??? I dropped 2.25 all the way around and I just purchase some 18"......very concerned about damaging tires!!

[lowcord]

some people have to role there fenders because of there drop aftermarket rims are usually wider than stock so theres that chance if your droped it may cause the tire to rub on the fender well. That and some people just role the fender so they can tuck the rim in more

[HondaX]

Can you role them yourself

[cdnacord]

you can if you no anything about bodywork

[Sthrnba711]

I had 18's with 215/40/18 tires and had about a 2-2.2 drop all around. I would rub a little in the back but nothing major. It was usually when i had people in the back seat which added weight and caused the rear to drop a little more. Now that I changed to 17s i have no problem at all. You might need to roll your fenders just to be safe plus if they tuck in the back it will look really good.

so if i drop my car on the same setup as u sthrnba with 15s i wont rub at all right? cause ur on 17s
