Buy that nive E class in picture one, just kidding. Got coilovers? Too much drop for those wide rims. Roll the fenders, also you might be rubbing on your upper control arm in the front judging by the drop. Or the inside of the wheel well. 16" rims with 55 series tires and any drop is a bad idea on an EG.

205/55/16 is too much tire.
That will rub on a stock suspension. Your only option is to roll the fenders. I tried a 195/60/15 on my 93 Ex and I had problems with the tire rubbing on the inner frame rail while turning.
The average O.D. of a 205/55/16 tire is ~25"
The stock tire size on that car is a 185/60/14 which has an O.D. of ~22.7"
p.s. Aren't Azenis known to run a bit big...

Re: Tires RUBBING Please Help (ej8413)
damn those tires are thick, I rub with my tires too, I have 205/45/16 and man it rubs when I bust a nut. Only thing i tried doing is rolled the fender as much as I can. It helped somewhat but didn't toally cure the problably, Only solution is to raise your car

either get a different offset, raise the car, or cut the fenders away. they have tools to do this relatively nicely. You should repaint the car after cutting fenders, and maybe when rolling fenders in certain instances.
from the pictures i would imagine you need a different offset and that rolling fenders wont help much.

Yeah, OR get the right sized tire.

Re: (jlacoy82)
HEY nice thread, I jsut got some 15' Rims, and i got some 205/50/15 Yokohamas. Now the question is that i have recently dropped it 1.5 inches, not i want it lower, i should get a coilover kit, or just some shocks, will that help make it like a inch loweR?
