a camber kit will help. but 3" is kinda low.
i think my front end lowers about 2.5" or maybe more (b16a is heavier than d series), but i am running stock 00 civic si rims. no rubbing at all

Get smaller rims? Raise the car? I have 17s with neuspeed sport springs and a 2'' drop, no rubbing problems.

Run a smaller tire size if possible could be an option.
