I just recently bought 18" rims and I got the rubber for it.

I ended up getting the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 in 215/35/18.

Just wondering if i'm going to have any problems with that rubber or is it to low in the profile.

Also how low can I drop my car without any rubbing???

Don't know how low because I'm not dropped, but I have no issues with mine.

im lowered to one-finger gap n got plenty of space.
if u plan to go that low or lower, be sure to get camber kit asap.
i ride on 215.35/18s

i got 215/40/18 and i'm pretty much tucking all 4 corners with no camber kit and mine's fine... the only time i rub is in the front left corner when i take very hard turns...

so you should be fine...

^umm take a look at ur rear tires.
if they are like this / \
even slightly, then i recommend
u need a camber kit

soo true, BUT! If they are tucked then he wont be able to correct the camber without the tire rubbing!

Doesnt your tire hum alot if you have negative camber?
cause I just got mine ,215/35/18 on Neuspeed Sport it tucks abit
and makes kinda loud humming sound

i don't really notice any humming noises from my tires... but i think that's becuase my exhaust is too loud...


i have the falken ziex ze-512 tires. i've had them for about a year now... i say drive quite a bit... well i use about a tank of gas a week almost. and i've been on a few road trips. i always get my car regularly maintained at honda, so my tires always gets rotated... the tire-wear is not too bad, but noticable. the tires that really camber are the rears... the fronts don't really becuase of the mcphearson front struts we have.

i say u should be fine without a camber kit. but that's totally up to u.

Performance tires are gonna be louder then stock and my guess is with that offset and an extreme drop your gonna rub. As far as camber have the alignment done after the drop and see how toed in the rear is. I'm on 17's with neuspeed sport and I ate tires up with out a camber kit in the rear. But with 18's you might not have the same camber issues.
