Default Rubbing issues

I have a 95 civic coupe and I just bought fresh tires for my OEM 99 SI wheels. Tire sizes are 195/50/15. About a week later, the inside of my front tires are ate up like crazy. The silver thread is already showing. My car is dropped on ground controls and the car is sitting right above the tire. I noticed on the inside of my frame behind the tires, I see bare metal. So, I'm guessing when I make wide turns, I hit the frame. But how can this be on 195/50/15 tires? Maybe is there something bent?

*NOTE: I have a skunk2 camber kit for the fronts and the wheels are sitting straight as possible.

Well, on my old VW Bugs there was an adjustment on the steering rack that would prevent this. But this is totally different lol..

If it wasn't doing this before, then I have no idea. Go get some new tires from JDMH22HATCH in Lewisville, and let him align it too.

Thats what I'm going to do as soon as I get my engine and front end replaced.
