I think 255 is to wide for an 8 inch wheel. You could do a 245 safely in the rear hell do it at all 4. You need to roll your fenders both front and rear and trim the front fender liners. That's likely what is rubbing in the front but if it rubs through and the tire grabs the fender it will mess up your fender. Get them rolled to be safe.

The color looks similar to mine

This was the excact answer I was looking for Well I changed the tires to Bridgestone Potenza S001 ; fronts are 225/40/18 and rears are 245/35/18 . They both have rubbing so I'll be mad Umm cant understand what is rolling and trimming fenders and liners.. Would you explain a bit more?

Lovely color combo by the way Nice ride.

Its difficult to explain but having the fenders rolled means you are folding the inside lip of the fender up so it is out of the way. Here is a thread that has some good pictures of what to do.

Your best bet is to find someone that knows what they are doing and has a fender roller. I have rolled the fenders on several cars but it is not an easy thing to do if you have never done it. It took me a good 6 hours the first time I did it because I was being super careful. You can crack your paint or otherwise mess up your fenders if you are not careful.

I love the color combo on yours. What is the paint color on yours?

I had 255's on my 8" wheels previously and they bubbled out way too much. It looks really stupid IMO.

Car looks great Love these wheels

As I said above; the color is a custom made mixing bronze,gold and some orange. When we roll the fender, wouldnt dirt and water affect the engine bay?

I suffer from the same thing now. Previous tires were looking good but they were 225 rear. Now it's 245 but it makes some bubbling out

Looks good, and I like the Honda decal on the calipers. But if you drive the car hard enough, it'll turn yellow from the heat
