Installing Tein S Springs on 235/45/17

[07HondaAccrd]

I was wondering if I need to roll my fenders if when I install my Tein S springs on my 07 sedan. Im going to be using 235/45/17 tires

Nope.

The tire size doesn't mean a thing if we don't know which wheels you're running. We would also need to know the offset of said wheels. If you're talking about 06-07 6MT wheels, 235 is a bit wide for a 6.5" wheel. Hell, that's a bit wide for any of the 7th gen accord OEM wheels. So again, what wheels are these tires going to be mounted to?

It will be for the front, you'll definitely rub.

I'd go with 215s in the front, 225s in the back (that's if you're staggered)

If not, then you'll need to roll your fenders.

Incorrect. You can't assume that without knowing the wheels he's running. My previous setup was 06-07 6MT wheels with 225 width tires on S Tech springs. No rubbing whatsoever. Others who run TL/ TLS wheel which have a slightly more aggressive offset than the 6MT Accord wheels run 245 width tires on S Techs and don't rub at all. No rolling on any of theirs or my fenders.

Thanks for the reply guys. Sorry for not including the type of wheels. I'm putting on 8th gen accord wheels on. I believe they're 7.5

Then you'll be perfectly fine. Those have a +45 offset IIRC and you won't even come close to touching the fenders. Be sure to post pictures once you're done.

Thanks! I will post pics as soon as I get them on

Glad you got your answer, i just took quick cellphone pics to show you that you will be fine.
Im running 225s on 18x8 OZs with Tein S on the fronts and stock on the back. As you can see you still have 2 fingers gap with 40 series so with 45 series tires you will be fine.

I'm running 17x8 TL-S wheels (235/45/17) and I'm dropped with no gaps and I rub :/ in the front

[crackerteg]

Dropped on what? If it's Tein S techs, something is wrong with your suspension.

I'm on coilovers.

How bad does it rub and do you usually carry passengers?

55 I believe, so they'll tuck away even more..

Looks great! I'm still waiting to see if I'm going to go coilovers or springs.

It only rubs on bumpy turns or turns going up a narrow incline. Gonna roll my fenders to see if it helps a little.
