18x7.5 wheels...need ur help

[jdmakkordman]

thinking about getting some racing harts but they only come in 42mm offset...anyone with 18's on their accord with a 1.8" drop or lower?
will i have rubbing problems?

its been a while so hi to everyone and thanks

I have 18's on my accord ( 5th gen) and dropped 2 inches last summer...rubbing? not really...if you are concerned with rubbage, I recommend a camber kit as well...:alien:

[jdmakkordman]

you rub but not really? wtf? and yeah i have camber kits which will only increase the chances of rubbing on the fenders...what offset are your wheels? any pics?

[strodda]

ignore that guy, he doesnt know what he's talking about. i have 17's w/ 2" drop. if you get tires with a 30/35 sidewall you should be ok. but you might just want to play it safe especially since you have a camber kit. which is just get 17's and drop it 2 or 2.5".

or just get coilovers and your 18's. then you can adjust it to whatever doesnt rub.

I have 18s with 3.25 drop on front and 3 on rear.
No rub on flat surface, just when you turn into higher grounds...
I used to still have a little gap with stock shocks...very tiny gaps now with Koni yellows.
Use 35 profile on your tires...helps a lot

I only have a fiew pics but hope that helps.

I use Momo Quasar II 18 x 7.5 w/ Parada 215/35/18

nice car, but how often do you have to change tires?? it looks like the camber is really bad. i only had a 2" drop and they went bald after a year. i have yoko avid h4's, which should have a higher treadwear since theyre allweather hipro.

Not yet....
I only had those wheels for like 6 mths...
And it also depends on your driving habits -> long driving range, road conditions.
I would've used camber kits, but they tend to have problems with the arms or fender....
But the tires do rub the fenders when we turn into higher ground since the front wheel go up.
It would be best to roll front fenders.

Stroda...I brought the post of "Show us your Ride" back , go check out my ride.. I have APEXi coil overs with 18x7.5 with 3.5 drop, didn't rub at all, and, I can still drop it more from those pics....Also, I know what I am talking about so do start putting down others before you get the facts... :alien:

Atariallstar ,
do you have problems w/ ingalls for the front?
I thought they have probs w/ upper arm or something...
also, any improvment in handling resulting from the camber kits...except improve tire wears?
thxxxxxx

sup b.....yea...there is a small problem with the inner fender hittin the upper control arm....but just bust out the ol' dremel tool and grind back enough so the arm clears and your home free.....no knockin sound and no broken up fenders...
