Default 18 inch wheels

Anybody running 18 inch wheels on a 97 ex? I have a set of them and I was wondering if I could run 235/40/18 tires on the 97 without any rubbing

I am running 18s, but with 215/35/18s, I dont know as if you could fit those, it would be close.

yeah on eibach sports, which is like 1.7in drop. with stock ride height, or even slightly lowered, you could prob fit the height of the tire.......just not sure about the width

OK. I haven't got any tires yet. I just ran across some kumho esta supras for $175.00 and I was thinking about picking them up. They are on rims and the guy said he had them on a 96 accord, but I didn't ask about rubbing issues

perhaps with alot of offsett or big wheel spacers it could fit.

MY wheels are 18x7J ET 42. My guess is the 42 is the offset.

Wow on 7 inches wide for an 18??? My 17s are 7.5... Those should fit just fine.
