They are sitting on 225/40/18 BFGoodrich KDW TA-2 Tires. The only problem i have is if you have the Accord CAI kit on ure car the tire will rub a little on the inner wheel well plastic with the piping being right there, but it is only when i turn my wheel hard to the left and am backing out. But besides that i love them they look so good on the celi and if you did a drop it would look awesome IMO.

the reason is, that you have 40 tyres and not 35 tyres wink.gif

I have 17"X7's at a +42mm offset. A little sucked in in the back, but I don't mind. Tires are unfortunately sized at 205/40-R17. Probably the summer will lead me to purchase some 215/45-R17 tires.

You are correct, but i decided to go with 40's when i severely bent a rim with 35's on the car. Plus, the intake still rubbed with 35's on there. It only rubs when the wheel is turned. A small noise sacrifice to make sure i have less of a chance of bending a rim..
