Default Tire question...

I have a 95 civic with 2.5/2.25 dropzones spring and I am thinking about getting 17"rims with 215/45 tires. Do you think that they will rub?

you will probably rub if your camber is set at 0 degrees.. probably would have to tuck it in a little (neg. camber) to clear the fender.

I dont even have a camber kit. I just put some washer in the back and left the front alone. So I can just leave the front the way it is then, eh?

thanks

I gat lowered springs, so I can really raise the car if it rubs, so i think that 205's will have to do.
