i just got a set of tl rims (2004) I a lowered with koni yellow and neuspeed race spring(2-2.5 inch) I was wondering wich tire size i should get. 225-45 would rub? anybody with similar set up?

youll have remove or trim the fender liner in the front and bend the tabs up at least. add a little camber in the rear. id go with a 215/40 tire. i have 18x8.5 et38 with 215/40 for a tiny bit of stretch and all fenders rolled flat. you should be fine either way.

so you think i absolutely have to roll the front fenders? . I already have a rear camber kit so the rear should not be a problem

since your 2-2.5" lowered you will. my stock tsx wheels would rub on unturns at that height and the tl wheels are 45offset. if it were me id roll all my fenders and run 215/40 or 225/40. i try to have the least amount of camber i can. if your tucking tire in the front or rear then id do what i said. im tucking and i would say im 2.5'' lowered.

Now i have stock wheels and stock tire size and no rubbing at all. I was hoping to run 225/45 with tl wheels without doing nothing to the fenders. I guess i will have to roll them

put them on. you can camber the rear i just dont like tons of camber and the front you might get away with trimming the fender liner and pushing up the tabs but i think youll rub on turns and full lock.

What? TL wheels fit just fine with no fender mods. I left my camber where it fell when I lowered it.

I ended up with like -0.5 front and -2.x rear. Neither of those is going to cause tire wear. I could dial out the rear camber to -1.x and still not have to roll fenders.

I use 225/45/17 tires. I have 2 sets of wheels/tires.
