I have an 02 america with 3.50 x 18" on the front can't find a whitewall tire anywhere. I have seen a slightly bigger tire with a honda fender? Need help figuring out what to do. I would like to keep the stock fender.
I also want to run avons please reply with suggestions.

Some time ago, I tried helping another member on a whitewall quest. I checked SEVERAL tire manufacturers' websites and many were "close" to the right size, but no manufacturer produced exactly what this guy was hunting. Try going to Avon, Metzler, etc websites. Good Luck.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

Dunlop makes a whitewall. I have a rear whitewall from dunlop on my BA and it looks good. But alas, I got 18,000 miles on original Bridgestone and hope to get about 15-16 on Dunlop. May try avons or metzlers next. Do like that Bridgestone, Probaly get it. Whitewalls are pain to keep clean, but do look good.

The Dunlop WW I've got is 120/90-18 in the front which is too tight using the front fender as it is. My solution was to make the fender bracket one inch higher. Works perfect.
Do a search. This has been discussed before. Good Luck!
