I'm on H&R race springs. (2.5f and 2.25r) and my car rubs on 195-50-15 tires. I'm not really slammed or anything but i still rub. And it rubs only on U-turns and Sharp turns. Does anyone have any solutions?


P.S. I'm planning on dropping my car even more in the future,

 

H&R black or red i have black and had that proble, on 195/50 you got to get some 205/50s for sure, you'll love em and do the rest of you're suspension

 

Just having 15's causes rubbing more than 16's or 17's would. Cause lowered w/ a smaller wheel and tire in turn lets the car sit lower. While running a car with lowering springs and no other suspension work no rubbing is impossible in sharp turns. Lowering the car even more will be a huge mistake and cause more rubbing.

 

bump for some help

 

roll the fenders, solved my problem. agx with h&r race kit.

 

any pics of it ek9? cuz i dont really know what you're talking about

I actually rub more with my 16's than I did with my 17's, but that's cause my 16's have +43 offset and my 17's had a +44.

Thank god someone corrected the misinformation on here

Did you remove the rubber inner rear fender lip mouldings yet? if not do that and it should stop rubbing. If it's already been done the only way to fix it is to get different offset rims or roll the inner fenders up for additional clearance.

 

It also depends on the brand/model of tire your using. I used to rub on my 205/40/16 BFG Euro's, but now that I have Dunlop FM901 (same size) I never rub. From the looks of the tires, the sidewall of the Dunlop is more angled making the actual tread slightly narrower.

Does anybody rubb on 205-50-15 Azenus sports (i have 94 civic with GC coils set pretty low)?

 

my rear tires arent rubbing just the front... and how would i go and roll the inner fenders up anyways?

 

Yeah !!! Great idea remove that rubber trim on the rear fender well so the metal of the fender can eat into your tire when you do rub. Lowered on 15's is no way not to rub besides roll fenders unless you redo all the suspension.

 

you're gonna get a little rub but who cares? im telling you 205/50s are the ****

 

whatever you do....do NOT remove the fender rubber. dumbest crap i ever did with mine. id suggest raising it up... obviously its way too low or soemthing. just please dont remove the rubber...its not a question of wehter or not you want to replace them...you WILL replace them thefirst time you go in the rain and see your engin got all drity. theyre $68 a PIECE from honda dealership and thats without screws and stuff
