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.
