Can you solve the fitment equation?
So i have been studying the Wheel Fitment thread, which i have to say is the first I have seen in all the forums i have belonged to. It is a wonderful place to start your research when looking for your new wheels/tires. Any way this is what i got out of it..
I am looking at a set of wheels...
Front 17x7.5 +48
Rear 17x8.5 +50
According to the fitment guide these will fit with stock AP2 tire sizes with a stock ride height, no camber adjustments or fender modification.
The question is will they fit with the Eibach Pro Kit installed? As far as i know from researching this forum the Pro kit drops you about 1.0" Also i do not want to ride with crazy camber or even think about touching my fenders.
So now that i have laid out the equation, i was hoping someone could solve it. Preferably someone with this same or similar set up.
Any information you can give me would be great even if its a link to an existing thread that i did not find within my hours of searching.

Yep they'll fit fine and shouldn't rub... I've run a more aggressive setup at a lower height with no issues.
You can actually run 225/255 but you might get slight rubbing on big dips. A little camber would solve that though...

Just to clarify when he says a little camber he means literally a little. For each 1 degree negative camber it equals roughly 5mm more clearance, so with a 225/255 setup you could easily do it with just 1 additional degree of negative camber.

It can depend on the tire you pick as well. Some tires are wider than others. SOme cars have more fender lip thatn others as well so be careful. Just run the most negative camber that Honda specs and you should be fine.
If I can help with the tires and or wheels let me know.
