What is the best solution to stop/prevent my tires from rubbing on the fenders, without having to roll my fenders, and also be able to lower my car a little more, would i have to change my tires size from my current 205/50/15 to 205/45/15 or wut option do i have?..my tires rub when i take corners at normal and at fast speed and/or at a conservative driving speed and when i hit small bumps or small pot holes/dips, its getting annoying. Please help !?!?

Maybe go with a 195 width tire might help. It all really depends on the offset of your wheels, the amount you lowered the car, and tire width. Tons of factors play into tihs decision.

well i have 15" rota C8's, and my front tires is about 1/4 or so inch tucked under the fenders and the rear fenders i'd say are about an 1/8 of an inch or just slighty touching the top of the tire. Since you suggested going with a 195 size tire, wut exact tire measurement of 195 would you suggest. Cause i still wanna lower my car a little more. Thanks a bunch

you have to rollthe fenders and the inner lining if you wanna keep the tires you have. maybe try getting a stiffer suspension. i have apex n1 and its dumped all the way and i dint even roll my fenders. it doesnt rub at all

so if wanna keep my tires i have no choice but to roll the fenders?, and if i do roll the fenders and the inner lining, i can be able to lower the car more as well?. Thanks a bunch

Also how would i roll the fenders and inner lining, and especially the rear fenders, without making the fenders look all bent up and/or have that ripple like effect?, that seems to be the tricky part, and what would i have to use, or can i use, that will do the best job for it??. thanks a bunch

Actually three

1) width - no more than 20mm wider
2) overall diameter - no more that +3%
3) offset - stick to stock unless you know what you aer doing.

when u mean stock height you mean riding and looking like a 4x4 truck height? lol

yeah definately if you want less rubbage I'd go with a 195 tire, even though the 205 give you more meat on the road. I'd maybe consider a 195/45/15. If this tire is out there. I suppose it is.

You just have to decide what is more important to you, lower and rubbing or not so low and not rubbing, and more grip on the road also. I personally wouldnt roll the fenders. I'd let the tires do what they natrually do. It'll bend the fenders slightly. Just drive a little more careful maybe.

A wider tire is not a better tire. A better tire is a better tire. Get the right size for your car and then get the best tire that can afford that suits your specific need.
