Default lowered rear wheels rub.

I have a 95 dx hb and i lowered it with the tein s.tech. when i was on steelies they were fine but since i got 16"s now they rub when i do a sharp and fast turn or when i have 1 person in the back seats. i see that some of the bumper is getting scraped and the inside of the qtr panel. what can i do? roll the fenders and cut the inner part of the bumper? thanks.

you can do all those things you suggested, or you can do what i did, no backseat passengers. unless, you taking 2 shorty's to you house.

also, what type of tires are on? tires are all made different and some walls sit alittle higher, or wider than others.

keep the rear seats folded down, so people think you took them out

I have this exact problem too. I just haven't gotten around to doing anything about it because it happens so rarely. I just avoid backseaters until I can get it remedied.

you can bend a little piece of metal up in the rear of the quarter panel and the rubbing consideriably stops, for the most part.

camber doesnt affect tire wear, unless its extreme...
kicking the camber in means you wont have this problem...and its probably the easiest and obvious choice

If you have a rear kit, just mark where the applied settings are, and adjust it.....then you can put it back, if you screw it up badly
