Default Tire rub Problem

I lowered my 95 Civic coupe about 2-3 inches and now the stock tires rub. Its not slicing or damaging the tires. is there anyway to fix this without raising the car? Should i even worry about it if its not damaging the tires?

if you would read the forum rules, it says that you have to be a trial member for an X amount of days before you become a member and there for you can not post in forums where it says members only.

Its not rubbing on the outside part of the fenders, its rubbing on the inside part, where all the rubber coating is, plastic inners, and the frame. The front rub a lot on the inside when turning. I know i will need to roll the fenders to get my 16x7's in there, but will i also need to get spacers so it doesnt rub when turning?

If its rubbing that badly on stocky's, its only going to be worse with larger and wider tires on there. I dont know if you can take the fender liners out, I'm sure somebody else will know, that might HELP your problem a bit?

You have to take out the little plastic liners to roll the fender. If you just take them out without rolling it'll start to cut into the tire depending on how low it is. I would just raise it a little if you have coilovers and add a lip and skirts to get the same lowered look.
