I have a wide b0dy kit (wideb0dy fender flares 0n a 6th gen ex c0upe) 0n my acc0rd and I want t0 flush 0ut the rims (18" X 7.5") and have a nice dr0p, making sure that the rims w0nt hit the fender flares....I'm thinking if I get s0me stiff c0il0vers I sh0uld b str8, but mah h0meb0y said that it cant be d0ne unless the rims are tucked a lil bit cause if y0u g0 0ver a speed bump with the rims fully flushed and the car nicely dr0pped, the wheel will hit the fenders...I need suggesti0ns 0n what I sh0uld d0 t0 get the rims flushed 0ut nice and dr0pped, plus n0t w0rryn b0ut the having a bumpy ride n s0me messed up fender flares?? Please let me kn0w if ne1 has ne ideas thanx

If you have fender flares and an 18 x7.5" wheel with between a 42-45mm offset it's not gonna be flush. You'd need an 18x8". I have a 19x7.5 and it's fairly flush. I also have a 6th gen coupe, but without the flares.
