I'm looking to put a set of Type S Waffles on my Lowered TSX. The wheels will have Michelin Super Sport 235/45/17. Will there be any issues with rubbing on stock alignment specs? Perhaps Marcus can chime in as he put some pretty meaty wheels on the HT Spec TSX.

Thanks!

to put it short and sweet, its all about your drop man....

if you're high enough to clear the wheels and tires, you'll be fine.
butt, if you low enough where you wont clear, obviously you will rub.

So, you're asking a subjective question when it solely resides on your car's height.

sorry for being more short than sweet.
butt without further information from you, no one will know if it will rub or not.

Heres the best pic I have of my drop. My fender is just about flush with my tire, maybe a little higher.

so, what happens if you rub?
what will you do to compensate or to fix the rub?

I don't think I can raise the car much more, I'm lowered on TL Tein Super Streets. Not really looking to camber much either. Kind of just want the easiest with no rub. From what i've read is the fronts just require removing two fender clips and thats it. Thats why I was looking for Marcus or someone with experience to chime in.

There you go.





Lowered on coils. Sit right at the tire height, maybe a little less give or take a 1/8". Running OEM tire specs; 235/45 but on Continental DWS's. Rolled all 4 and camber is at around 0.

nice clean car and front bug deflector.

I left my fenders alone. I also let the camber just land naturally. I don't have any tire wear issues...and it NEVER rubs. I think I ended up with like -1 up front and -2.x in back. I've had it like that for about 32K miles now. Road trips to NYC, Detroit, Canada, upstate NY, etc. Daily driven.

Snow tires in winter (225/45 continentals). On TL base wheels.

I have 225/45 Pilot SS for summer on my TL-S wheels...but I'm sure 235's would be fine.

My car is not lowered like the cars in the pics though. I have Tein SA coils. I probably lowered it about 2". I feel like its probably about 1" higher than the white car in the pics.
