I'm finally gonna order my wheels which are gonna be either the rota p-45r or grids in 17x9.5. Im going with a 215/45 but I don't know what brand or model. Also I will be at least 3in dropped on natural camber with a pull and roll. Anygood suggestions based on experiences would be appreciated.

Federal 595SS would get my vote .. and you wont need a pull depending on your offset :)

That's a lot of stretch. People seem to like stretching Falkens for some reason.

I seen the design of the falken 912 and those don't look designed for any kind of streching, maybe the 512's? I thought those federals were discontinued?

No sir, I just got 4 brand new ones on my car O_O

Also, with that much stretch and a +30, you shouldn't need a pull with natural camber .. But you will 100% need to relocate your bumper tab and grind off some stupid piece of metal ..

Bridgestone, falkens. Do not get nexens they run a little bigger. Or kuhmo estcas are good. You will need to relocate bumper tap and I suggest rolling the fenders.

Grinding metal?? What part?

It's behind the rear bumper, just take a look at it when you slam your car, you'll see it clear as day. it's about 1" behind the rear bumper .. I have no idea why Honda would put it there .. but it cuts into the tire tread and makes the most horrible sound ever .. Slammed life baby ! cutting things off that are there for absolutely no reason .. hahahahahaha
