What front tire size are you running? I think 225x35x18 will work,I see some of you are running 215 so they don't rub, they look bad ,rim sticks out too far.thks Brent

 

[arfnsx]

It depends on what suspension you are running. I had the 225-35-18 and I was rubbing with H&R springs. I went to the 215-35-18 and now I do not have any problems at all.

 

[Texas91Brent]

thanks, I am considering H&R springs with Konis, Where did it rub? I removed plastic fender liner near the condensor...I heard they rub on full lock only, is that correct? Thanks for any responses guys!!!! Also I already ordered 225's for the front, there is too much rim exposed on the 215's IMO..thks:biggrin:

 

[Texas91Brent]

P.S. Does it require 3mm spacers on front and back wheels? HP in Florida, is claiming only needed for the front installation, thks again:smile:

 

[arfnsx]

I had 3mm up front only. When I put the 225s on, I rubbed coming right out of the driveway of the tire shop. I turned right around and had them swapped out to the 215s.

Here are photos with the 215s and they are close. Under full load I rub every once in a while with these.

BTW the HP guys are great! They have been very helpful and they know there stuff. I will be in there booth at NOPI This year.

Damn, where did the 225's rub? Would they rub with Eibach springs too? I may need to change my order...Did I understand correct, you run no spacers on the rear? no caliper scraping problem? thks Brent:smile:

 

[arfnsx]

Eibach are not as an aggressive drop as the H&R but that might be only a quarter of an inch difference. My car is low and I scratch the bottom all of the time. Eibach might offer you better drop.

Yes I am NOT running spacers on the rear. The calipers in the rear are smaller than the front ones so the wheels will clear if you are running a 38 offset (I think, dont remember the exact offset)

 

[Texas91Brent]

Would you do the H&R's again if you had a choice, or maybe Eibach? Coilovers are great, but too much money for a look...

 

[arfnsx]

I like the H&Rs because they gave me a nice clean low look. I also put them on my E-Klasse Mercedes and it is a perfect look too. I had Eibach on my first NSX and my Legend coupe and although I liked the lowered look, I sometimes wished it was lower. When I saw NSXDAWG's green NSX with the HREs and H&Rs, i knew that is what I wanted.

 

[Texas91Brent]

Thanks, Will I be screwed, with HR's and 225's? I too really like the low look..Was the rear alignment difficult ? thks for all of your answers...Brent:biggrin:

 

[arfnsx]

Rear alignment is a completely different issue. With such an aggressive drop, my camber is off a little. I have had it aligned but with the camber at negative x, I wear on the inside of my tires after 4-6k miles. I am not happy about that at all. I do "spirited" driving but I would like to get at least 10k out of them.

I sometimes think of lifting it a bit but I now have a tire Sponsor so every year I get a new set of tires.
