Default Lowered sol with 15's and 205/50/15 rubbing

Yep. That's bout it. Fenders rolled too. Twin s tech springs which doesn't has an extreme drop.
Tried 195/55/15 didn't work at all.
Tried 205/50/15 and still rubs. I think I need a different offset or a 15x6. Any ideas?

You should use a higher offset wheel, civic's like 42-50mm

where is it rubbing? front rear? turns? bumps? might have to remove fender liner or mess with the camber.

if you have camber at all it shouldnt rub. i run 205/45/16 toyos on my wheels and they have a 35mm offset. i only rub on BIG bumps. im also dropped 2.5-3" and not rolled.

post up some pics.

Stretching the tires is another possibility Not to much tho because its dangerous

I used to rub on 205/50/15 too. Get a more narrow tire. 195/50/15 will not rub. 205 is a little too wide.

It rubs on the outer fender still on bumps. Don't have a camera right now. I was thinking I can just get some different springs to bring it up a very little bit or some coilovers. These tein springs are pretty old not too sure if the tension is correct.also anyone know a place that can modify the wheels offset? Correctly?

Also it is all four corners on bumps. Tried adjusting camber negative but still not completely gone. Doesn't rub as bad but still does.
