accord upper ball joint rubbing

aight guys my accord is still on coilovers at the moment waitin to get bagged.... my problem is that in the front my upper ball joint rubs the tire and basicly kills tires withen a couple weeks... any help would help out alot thanks guys later

what size tires are you running. Pics would definetely help. Im running 18's on my accord with no trouble and have seen bigger. You shouldn't be rubbing there unless there is something else going on

im runnin 17s but was wantin to go with 18s or 20s so im not sure.... I started looking into more and my struts are almost shot so I think that has alot to do with it..... are you runnin cans or bags on your wagon?

it wouldn't matter if your struts or any other parts of your suspension are worn out. that doesn't change the point of where the wheel mounts to the spindle. that measurement can never change.. unless you have a bent spindle or in very severe case, a worn out wheel bearing, but you'd know if it was that bad. (noises, etc.) you most likely have an incorrect offset wheel or tires are too tall or both. my accord is a 1990 and i had 20's on it with a 225/30/20 with the correct offset and the tire wasn't hitting the balljoint. what size are your tires/ wheel width and offset?

i had a 1991 accord wagon with 20x8.5 with 255/30/20 and i had no rubbing in the front, but i had to modify the rear spindle.

I think you either have a way wrong offset wheel or way top big tire

I am running juice, so cylinders. It sounds like something is bent or the wrong offset as wdmaster states
