Hey everyone.
I live in the Boston area, so It is nearly impossible for me to drop my car. I have a 1994 honda accord, kitted, and 18inch rims. My car is not dropped, so therefore the wheel wells are pretty wide. I was thinking about getting larger tires for my car, hoping that it would both decrease the size of my wheel well, and add more security to when I drive around and hit a pot hole. Does anyone here know the largest size tire that would fit on my car? And what the deal with scraping may possibly be, and if there would be any way to sand or remove parts in such a way that the tires would not scrape.

im in ny and have the same problem. i change my struts and springs though and the ride height wasnt as bad as factory. i use 225/40/18 on my car with no problems. i think thats the largest. you might want to try 225/45/18, since you have a large fender gap it should be a problem. how wide are your wheels 18x7.5? this is the correct width for that car.

drop it on 18s with 225/40 with a 42mm offset works good and if it rubs you can move back the well a little bit... go to any customs shop and theyll hook u up...
