I'm barely lowering it. As stated earlier I'm ordering hr sport springs and tokico blues. I didn't think those springs would make that much of a difference with these.

Am I retarded? I thought every post so far applying to what I originally posted as far as the rims and suspension goal told me to buy 225/40-18. Now you are saying it will rub????
Like i said, I am slammed, bumper tab relocated, fenders rolled and cut. I still rub once in a while.

You wheels are .5" wider with a 5mm lower offset then the wheels I had on my Accord, which means they're going to stick out further then my wheels did. I rubbed like hell on 225/40's with Neuspeed Sports.

neuspeeds= 1.8/1.7 drop for my car
hr sports= 1.5/1.2 drop for my car

That's .5" difference in drop for the rear.

I tried to open the link in your sig to see what year the car u were referencing was but it wouldn't open. Anyways suspension is ordered. I'll install next week and change the tires, plus alignment and I'll let you know how it goes.

Car on page 1 looks familiar...

I'm lowered 1.5" all around and am riding on 225/40/18 tires and do not rub at all, though my rims are 18x7.5.
