Hi all...

I have a 97 Accord, dropped 1.5" with H&R springs. The wheels I want to get have an offset of +42. What tires do you guys recommend? And will rubbing be a problem?

Thanks.

 

Welcome to the board

I have a 6th gen, but I have the same springs. I have 18x7.5 +45 and never rub. My buddy has the exact same setup only with +42...he rubs a little, but only with people in the back (and he has two 10s and a 1000w amp in the trunk).

Maybe someone with a 5th gen can help more specifically, but I'd say you're probably fine. +45 would be better, but I'm sure +42 will be fine.

I guess I should also ask what is the wheels size you are looking at.

 

Oh yeah, the wheel size is 18 x 7.5"

 

I have 18x7.5 w/ 45 offset.

I'm dropped a little more than 2.5".

I rub a rub a little in the front using 225/40/18 and camber kit (right now my front camber is - 0.6).

No rub w/o camber kit in front, but I would have > -2 camber.

Using 215 tires would help a little.

As for rear, absolutely no rub, even after I put washers to fix the camber.

 

i have a +.42 offset w/ my 17x7.5's..
my tires are toyo proxes 21545zr17s

im also lowered on eibach sportlines (2") drop, no rubbin unless i gots a fat chick in my ride

 

u need better shocks then. my offset is the as urs.. i've fitted 10 people in my car. my current set up is about 2.25 in the front(settled) and about 2.5 (settled) in the rear

3 guys all 5-8 and up (tallest was 6-2)
7 females one sat up front in my boys lap the rest in the back

this was during juvee weekend 2001 they rod on top of my ride for the most part and even with my body kit i still didnt touch the floor. its all about the shocks baby h:
