Will I rub? (I did a search)
I have my car lowered around 3" in the front and 2.75" in the back. I am going to be purchasing my friends Potenza RE730's 205/50/15's. These will be going on Civic Si wheels. I have the rear camber adjusted with two washers, and it doesn't seem like there is much room for a wider tire. Will this rub? Will I have to remove washers, or should I not have a problem? Will this rub in the front either? I have no camber kit. Thanks for the help.

depends on the offset... one of my friends civic(same setup) rubbed at full turn on the inside of the front tires against the inner wall...... but just slightly...
and rear... not sure about that... hope that helps...

i've got about the same drop, i rub in the front on tight turns. i run 205/50/15, w/ a +45 offset. i had to cut two tabs(one per side) in the rear fenderwells to make clearance.

with a 3" drop i would be more concerned with scraping my front bumper. i know your tires will be tucked in the front but i doubt it will scrape unless you go over a bump fast.

Re: Will I rub? (sinister)
Hhmm. Well, the tires already rub when I turn the wheels all the way in the front b/c of the offset. That really isn't my concern. I just want to know if they are going to be able to fit inside the wheelwells. Also, I am not worried about the bumper. I had it dropped at 3.5" for about 5 months. No real problems.
