If you're on stock suspension, it shouldn't be rubbing that badly. How low is the car sitting?

stock ride hight, the car’s suspension is completely stock, I’m using toyo r888r semislicks, maybe it’s because the tires have more grip than regular tyres the car is alot faster in the corners therefore higher compression in the corners wich means it’s getting to the max travel alot more, but I’m aware that the stock shock should bottom out before the tyre hits the frame

I have a Honda Civic VI generation hatchback EJ9, facelift LHD, with suspension lowered by 4 cm compared to the stock suspension.
I'm currently using two sets of rims: MUGEN RNR 15x6.5JJ ET38 and HONDA ASASHITEC 2 EK4 15x6JJ ET45.
I have identical tires on both sets of rims: 195/50R15.







I haven't noticed any rubbing anywhere on either set of rims.
