Default Function & Form TYPE 2 & 18in RACINGHART

So what tire sizes would you guys recommend with F&F TYPE 2 coilovers at it lowest setting. I have a 96 Accord EX sedan with 18in RACINGHARTS.
Current suspension is EIBACH prokit and AGX struts.
I've been told 225/40/18 and then some say 215/40/18 ?
What you guys think ?

I would get 215/40-18 if you have a V6 Accord, and 215/35-18 if you have a four-cylinder. Don't get 225/40-18, which is definitely too big for either model.

Remember, the object is to try to come as close as possible to the outer diameter of the stock tire size. Look at the diameters and you can see why I'm recommending these sizes:

<u>'96 Accord V6 Sedan:</u>
195/60-15 24.21 inches (stock size)
215/35-18 23.93 inches (-1.2 percent)
215/40-18 24.77 inches (+2.3 percent)
225/40-18 25.09 inches (+3.0 percent)

<u>'96 Accord 4-cyl Sedan:</u>
195/60-15 24.21 inches (stock size)
215/35-18 23.93 inches (-3.1 percent)
215/40-18 24.77 inches (+0.3 percent)
225/40-18 25.09 inches (+1.6 percent)
