'05 Accords & 225/55-16: Anyone tried?

Discussion in 'Accord' started by Charles Lasitter, Apr 21, 2005.

  1. For '05 Accords with stock suspension (no lowering), where do rubbing
    problems usually occur first?

    Why I ask: While on the phone with an experienced salesrep with the
    Tire Rack (TR) I lamented that the P Zero Nero M+S didn't come in
    that many sizes. He immediately suggested going with a "custom"
    225/55-WR16 93W spec for my '05 LX.

    The TR web page is conservate and doesn't show this as a standard
    selection, as they want their web site to show recommendations that
    are NEVER a problem, and I appreciate that. The TR rep said he'd be
    very surprised if there were any rubbing with my wheels / tires, but
    did recommend that I load up to back end with weight and see "just
    to make sure".

    Question: For this combo, would anyone anticipate rubbing on the
    front? I'm considering having the fenders rolled just to be on the
    safe side, but don't know if the front would be an unwarranted
    expenditure of not.

    Or perhaps I should also be considering replacement shocks?? Or just
    wait and see on everything?

    Recommendations appreciated.

    -- CL.
