94 Accord

right now i have 17inch konig caffeines but today i bought 18inch axis se7ens in white . i have a little under a 2 inch drop . basically i want to know if my car will appear to be higher now with larger wheels and is a camber kit or anything necessary . thank s

It should appear the same, depending on what tire size you got. Even if you do plus size your wheels, the overall diameter shouldn't change much if I'm not mistaken. Example (205/40/17 should be just about equal to 215/35/18) I might be mistaken, but overall it shouldn't change the look of the car much at all (height wise)

when you change the height of the drop to a certain point, you need a camber kit. rims won't make you need a kit

yea i got 215 35 18 toyo proxes . since the wheels are 18x7.5 they won't poke out at all will they .

Less sidewall makes your wheel gap look bigger. On my EX wheels I look low, if threw 17s on I would look stock.

it shouldn't. 215 for 7.5? let see, 225 should be better protection against curbs. as far as 35, if u had 40 on your 17, 35 on 18 won't make ur car higher unless you go 40 on 18.

EVERY1 here told me that if you drop 2" or more, camber kit is a must. It helps reduce uneven tire wears. Zidek is right, RIM does not require camber. Alignment does.

becarefull about the offsets, too much will make it stick pass fender, so low drops will rub you wheels against fenders. (I still trying to learn more detail abou this issue)

yo i'd get a camber kit cause its a must have plus straight wheels look better

whats the tow and how it effects the camber?

You should've gotten 225/40/18's, especially since accords could handle that size. 215/35's are for civics and teggys...

"toe" is where the wheel looks like it's turning in or out even though the wheel is straight. in a really exaggerated case, from the front view of the car, you can easily seee the tire tread or rims; tires would be tilted (turned) in our out. if you make a circle with your hands like an O (as if you were jerkin off :naughty: ) and face the circle towards you (which is like looking at the rim from the side of the car) , toe would be +/- from the finger tips to the middle of the palm and camber would be +/- from the top knuckle on the index finger to the kuckle on the thumb. i forgot what caster it
