Just got Tenzo R Sport Lowering Springs with 2.00 inch drop, for my 2001 Accord LX. I got 18's coming and need to know what size tire will fit without any rubbing. I wanted to know if 2.00 inch drop is to much , I dont want it very low I just want my fenders to be closed with the new rims on. I don't know how 225/40/18's Tires will fit but, I don't want to take a chance and buy bigger tires, I am thinking on get 215/40/18 tires, can some one tell me the best one that would fit.

Thanks

 

It will all depend on the offset of the rims if 215/40/18 or 225/40/18 will fit. If you plan on gettin' 18's - look at a 35 series tire.

 

225/40/18 is the better choice. It's the most common size tire with 6th gen Accords on 18's. And it's the closest to stock overall diameter I'm pretty sure.

That's what I have, not rubbing. But like said above, offset will determine rubbing. I have +45 offset, but +42 will be okay as well.

 

I think the offset is +42, are you sure its cool

 

i have a 2 inch drop on my 2000 accord. i have 215/40/17 and its perfect. i never had 18's but i think it my rims and tires where a tad bigger, that it would be too big.
