So my dealership ordered the wrong HFP wheels for a customers 09 accord (he wanted chrome not gunmetal) so i bought them for cost price. the wheels are 18x8 inches and im going to use 225/40/18 tires. i am also lowered with comptech springs. so my question is does anybody have this setup? does it rub? i mocked up a wheel yesterday with no tire and it seem awfully close to the strut and inner fender but doesnt hit. do you think wheel spacers would give me enough clearance?

 

i rock 18x8's and im lowered on tein s-techs with no camber kit. no rubbing. tire wear is a bitch though.

 

You'll only rub under EXTREME load in the rear

or

very hard turns...like autoX full speed to sharp corners


If your just planning on "parking lot pimpin" or driving past highschools ...

you're good to go.

 

cool thanks. i just got the tires today, and put them on, slight rubbing on full lock, but nothing some wheel spacers cant take care of.

 

terrible size imo for handling. But to each his own.
