Well they say "Rubbing is racing" but would you want tire rub at 100mph?

Yeah, me either.

Anyhow, my 92 Accord comes with 195-60/15 at stock height. I plan to lower the car with a set of eibach pro kit lowered springs and tokico blues. I am expecting about a 2in. drop at each corner. What my question is, will my 205-40/16 Konig Tuners rub on the control arm or inner fender wells?

Pics coming very soon...

I've seen that accord with 215-35-18's and that guy didn't have a problem, I don't think you will either. as long as the ofset is right for your car you should be fine.

Budget wise, I may have to go with a kit like Eibach offers with the loweed spring etc.. as one package...

If anyone has a better PLUS cost efficient idea to offer, rather than eibach, please inform me.

TY.
