6th Gen Accord w/ 18's...Do i need a front AND rear camber kit? - Honda-Acura.net

Hey guys, ive got a 6th gen accord and planing to get some 45 offest 18's. I was wondering if i would need a camber kit, and if so, the front, rear or both??? I want to get optimum tire wear and was wondering what would be the best. I know Jschmid just has a rear camber kit and is getting decent wear, but i was just curious if the front camber kit would make a difference as well. I was thinking of getting the sprint front and rear camber kit but wasnt sure if it would be worth it to get both the front and rear. Camber kit brand recommendations would be greatyl appreciated as well. LMK! thanks.

Gee sherlock, i know that 18s dont have as good tire wear. The bottom line is, if my tires are going to wear out fast, i want to get a set up that will give it the best possible wearing conditions.

most of the time u just need front, because there front wheel drive and it would wear more, but if u can afford it i'd go with all around..hope that helped

with 6 gen accords.... it depends on your drop... if you get less then 1 inch drop, u probably don't need a camber kit but if you go more, you more likely need the rears b4 the fronts. i currently have H&R sports in my 6 gen with 18" with 48 offset and I only needed the Rears.. I drove around atleast 8000+ right now with no bad camber wear.. also I recommend Speicalty Product camber kits because they're the best..... Not cheap... and don't use the Washer method either, it don't work..

How is the 48 offset? Is it rubbing at all? im planning to go a 45 offset and was wondering if i should go with a 45 or 48...lmk

48 offset is perfect... some say 45 is rubbing for them if you got the wrong drop with wrong offset but with mine, it's perfect flush with the fender.. no rub or anything.. i actually ordered 45 offset but 48's came in. IMO, 48 is better now since i have 48 offset

hmm, thats weird, ive heard different things from different ppl. Im currently on a Tokico 1.5'' Sports drop and was pretty sure i was gonna need a 45 offset. Can anyone second on the 48 offset versus the 45???
