what size and brand tire did you go with?

Currently running Falken FK452
225/35/19
Because of rubbing I may run a 30 series sometime in the future.

Remember, toe ruins tires, not camber

Actually I'm already hitting on any dips or bumps on the road, even after having the fender and fender lining trimmed. I'm going to take a closer look today and see if theres anything else I can trim off

If youre asking about what the camber setting is I've no idea. All we did was put springs on it, didnt get it aligned yet.

ohhh gotcha, I forgot how lowered hondas get when it comes to camber. haha

your running 225's, you should try going with 235's and see how that looks.

235 = more rubber
more rubber = more rubbing
If anything I should try stretching a 215 or bumping down to 30 series.

Stretching might be the better option. After going through numerous tire setups with my girl's TSX, stretching a slightly narrower tire worked better than going with something w/such a tiny sidewall, especially for longevity.

tracy... dont run a 30 series... run 215/35 or 205/35

yeah I'm going to do that soon as I wear this tire out... which shouldnt take too long :drinking:

doesnt a 215 look stretched on the wheel?

im rollin on 235s on a gen 2 but I also had to cut the rear fender to make it fit.

Those wheels always seem right on tsx's and the Tls. Did you do the chrome window trim yourself? looks great all around.

thats the whole point. In order to get the wheels to tuck nice while still sitting flush to the fenders you are going to have to stretch the tire.

a little stretching doesn't hurt as long as its not to the extreme like 195/35 on a 8.5" wide tire. which some of the xB guys do on a 10" wide wheel.

Thats what I miss about my xB.. You can run 9.5" and 10" in the back with no problems with a little chamber and rolling and pulling here.
