Default 98 Accord tokico hp struts & skunk2 coilovers setup

i have a 98 accord 4cyl 4dr and i have an opportunity to install the aforementioned suspension setup (my oem parts need to be replaced). my concern is what effect will this have on the stock wheels/tires, mpg, performance. also, is there something else i should install in addition to the coil/struts (ie, shocks, camber kit)?

furthermore, does anyone know what is a good rim/tire combo size to use with this setup? i was thinking a 17" or 18" max.

i would sincerely appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

installation of the coil over, tokico shocks will lower your car, you will need a camber kit,or it will ware your tire out in 10k or less on the inside. ride will be hard, stock tires will not make a change in milage. I enjoyed the hard ride but hard on the back and caution on speed bumps or steep driveways. may need to put in a scuff plate in front, and if you have a big round add on muffler it will scrape on speed bumps and driveways, drive sideways up the driveway.

Don't go with the sleeve coilover, unless you have the full true coilover.
I've tried every options. One of those coilover with sleeves no good. When you lower the car, get camber kit to save your tires.
