well i got 17" BSA black 8 spoke rims on Kuhmo ASX tires ... droppin it appears to be a problem cuz of a control arm or something above the rear tires ... i removed the front bumper lenses and moved the blinkers up to the corner lenses ... it gives it a lil sleeker look ...
lower away man. the control arm moves with the suspension. The tire will never hit it.

I have a 96 Accord EX and I lowered my car about 2" with eibach sportline springs. I had to buy camber kits for the front and back. I bought SPC camber kits. The rims that I have are 17" Konig Imagines with Kumho 711's. I suggest getting something done about your camber if you don't you will have to replace your new tires within three months. Really I did...Although, I had the camber problem long before I lowered the car. When I put the new rims on thats when the insides of the back tires started to wear out and the outsides of the front started to wear out. I wish you luck..

yeah well i would just go with the other good ideas from the other posts, and i would take all the badges off, and this isn't a shot at you 19Accord97 but i wouldn't put any fake badges on or car cuz it take away from how clean of a car you really have.
None taken[8D], but thats what they are called on eBay and the badge is optional to put on!

Not always true. I Lowerd mine alot, Fixed the back camber with washers and i just got and alignment at sears and Accords have adjustable balljoints so they adjusted them the best they could and ive never had a problem with tires.

Just telling you what happened with my car. You are very lucky to not of had any camber problem. Although my rims and tires could be alot different from yours. I have a much wider tire than factory. I also added that I had the camber problem before I lowered my car. The camber was an issue when I bought the new rim and tire. I did the washer camber adjustment but I didn't really see a change in the wear in my tires untill I bought the SPC camber kits. I can tell you that I have had no problem since. But the problem still remains that you had to fix your camber outside of factory settings. I think there are alot of people who buy new bigger rims and lower their cars who may not know this. Just trying to help someone not have to go through losing $1,000.00 to new tires.

Ya i agree Camber kits are good and i will need it for the front of my car. I was just saying you can ride without them for a while if you had too. I didnt really think about the tire sizes. How much did you pay for your camber kit Breeze? The told me $96 at the local shop around here and thats just for the front

Here are some links to the camber kits that I have. They are pricey but very worth it.

http://www.autocarparts.com/cars/Hon...C-Performance/ The thing I would suggest for you if you lowered you car more than 2" you need to make sure that you get a camber kit that can be adjusted to 3.00 degrees. The other factor with my car is that the struts are going bad so the camber kits have made up for the bad struts. Hope this helps. Breeze
