Bend the fender lip.

Camber kit will not stop from rubbing. Sounds like you're just too low for the amount of drop. Get smaller wheels or you need some keys to lift it a little.

You can also bend or "roll" the inner lip of the fender but it still may be dropped too low.

Does it only rub when you hit a bump or all the time?

ohhh...you're tires are rubbing...you can fix it by:

1) find the hooks for your coilovers (not hard to find, or cheap to buy)
2) roll your fenders
3 put smallers wheels back on

don't get a camber kit, a camber kit is only suppose to straighten out your camber, but why would u want to straighten them out more if you already rub with negative camber?

S14-Civic

u see how the tires are under the fender well i looked at mine and the front wheel was more out than the rear ones

look slike you got the wrong offset.

on a civic, you'll run into problems when you run anything 16+ and lowered. what kind of coilovers are they?

S14-Civic

no idea on what kinda the coilovers are cause i didn't buy them the guy who use to own the car had it and sold it to me like that with out a key so if u guys are saying raise it that mean i would have to get some new coilovers

ABTDer

got a pic of the coilovers? you'll either need an allen wrench or the "hook" type of wrenches that any "performance" shops can get you.

S14-Civic

well i don't have any pic but i took a good look at it be4 and it pretty much looked like red Skunk2 coilovers but without any writing on them

S14-Civic

anymore help?

your fckin dumped to the floor yo ...wish i could do that in NYC

damn that **** is dropped, I don't even think rolling your fenders could help you out. There's two kinds of keys they sell for coilovers, if not, just get a new set of coilovers.

leprechan117

just go to your local shop, and use some of the keys out of a set of coilovers, thats what my brother and had to do. we bought something small, to make them happy, then just asked if we could take a set of keys out to the parking lot, and we did it right there, its not hard to do at all.

SoulSurfer

You have to lift that a little man.

why cant you just take the colilovers off your setup and put some new ones in or take some pix so the rest of us can identify it for ya

Plan B

nice artwork. You win the award for most resourceful newbie..

I believe the velox vx-6 rims come in 38,40,and 42 mm offset...
you might have the 38 mm offset which would make them stick out
you need to sell them if so and get 42 mm rims

Does your muffler clear the ground???

moondoggy

get smaller rims 14's or 15's, 17's are too big

or you can always contact the previous owner to see if he have the keys

nerdsports

that black hb isnt his car... he just used the pic as a reference.

check to see if you have too much positive camber, or maybe its just the wheel offset. personally i feel 17s are kinda big on a civic...

1999all_motoR_teg

I don't think that's his car cause his sig says he has a 1995 Civic Coupe. I think he was using that pic as a reference.
If I'm wrong then sorry LOL

Anyways I had the same problem man. When I had my stock wheels on I had my coilovers dropped 4 inches and then I put on 17 inch rims and the inside of the wheel well actually SAT on my tires LOL my tires wouldn't even move. So I took them off took the new rims home rolled the fenders and raised the car a little and was fine.

You should be able to borrow the keys for your coilovers from a performance shop as they'll usually have some lying around just in case.
