i have 18" rims on my Acura RSX..if i get coilovers, will the rims scrub the wheel wall?

rims are on the outside of things. what you mean is that you have 18" wheels for your tires. Why do you need coil covers, are they cold ??? and 18" means diameter, not width.If the wheels aren't rubbing now, then they probably won't rub with covers on the coils.(unless the coil covers are wool army blankets)

They shouldn't, I have 18" rims on my RSX as well and an aftermarket body kit which decreased my space even more than it was previously. I have no rubbing issues whatsoever so I think you should be fine. And another thing is that even if you do notice they rub a little bit, just raise it up a tad (this is assuming you are getting adjustable coilovers) It depends on what kind you're getting and how much of a drop as well, check out www.clubrsx.com in the suspension part of the forum and see if anybody has any experience with the coilovers that you plan on purchasing!

It just depends on the offset of the rim.

Coilovers can be adjusted to your preference.

it depends on the off set of the wheels and the width of the wheel and tire. dont go with a tire that is wider then a 225, any 235 will usually run in the rear with the wrong off set for the tires width. and it all depends on the the amount of the drop.

I had 18 on my RSX, and never scrubbed, 2" drop front 2.5" drop rear. but you have to run about a 35 series tire with it to keep the stock tire hieght. If not you will scrub, but when you run 35 series tires with it , like I did. You will find out that you will be buying more rims and tire when the pot holes eat them up.I switch to 17" rims, and had not bought any replacement since.Good Luck

They'll fit, i know someone who put 20"s on his RSX, dont ask me why, personally, i wouldnt go with bigger that 17", but with coils, it can be adjusted anyways so you'll be fine
