Tires & wheel fit question
 

I've searched the forum & haven't found exactly what I need so here's the details &my questions:

I've got a set of MAS 16 x 7.5 alloy wheels (35mm offset)to put on my 96 Accord EX-R along with a set of Falken ZE-512 tires, size225/45ZR16. I know from browsing the forum here that the width is a bit more than normal but I had them new before purchasing the car & want to try to use them. I've used the tire size calculator & am about 1%+ from the stock tires so that should be fine.

Does anyone see a problem with fit/clearance for this tire/wheel set?

I also have a set oh H&R sport springs that I was planning on using down the road as part of a suspension upgrade along with new shocks & a progress alignment kit.
This will mean a drop of 2.25 inches front & 2.0 inches rear. I'm not sure if this will be doable with the above wheel/tire combo butI'd appreciate any commentsthe accord gurus on this forum could give. Cheers.

Jim

Hi member:
You may have to look at that very closely in the fenderwell areas:
Just be sure that there is no contact with the tire and inner fender liner:
You can Fix that:
You can always Heat up the inner fender liner and remold it and in some too close to call sceneros you can always remove the fender liner, but that might cause debris to fly up and of course you'll have more road noise...so look at it carefully and if it dont look like it will work..go smaller in the width...

Thanks for the advice. We'll see how it goes when I get the wheels mounted this week. The tires are brand new/never mounted so I won't have any problem selling them if it comes to that.
