hey everyone i wanted to know how big of rims/tires does everyone have, do they rub? how low is the car? as far as my ef my tires are: 205-50-15 and on the front tires there is no more inside tread left (and its not cuz of camber wear) and i got about a 2.5-3 inch drop. and i would like to know a good size tire that wont get ate up when i turn

 

stock si wheels 185/60/14, no rub, 2.5 drop, but bad camber wear on inside

 

16, 205-40R16, no drop, no rub..

 

that's funny. I"m on stock 14" with camber issue as well! BUT, BUT, those are so cheep to replace!

 

good feed back keep it comin..... also my back tires rub when i turn also but im afraid to check those tires but you can hear em when the car turns

 

Jason, remember when I had 16's? They were 205/40/16, I am dropped like 1.8, and there was no problems.

that's why i like em. but somehow everytime i need tires, like i do now, i'm ****** broke or have to fix other **** first. oh well

 

195/50R15 on some 15X6.5 wheels with 38 offset
No rubbing but a lot on inside wear

 

225's will either rub stuff inside the fender, or stick out alot depending on offset, and will rub top of the fenders depending on how big the rims are. Heh I tried to stick some spare 15" rims I had on mine that had 225/50/15's on them and they rubed everything and the fenders sat on top of them.

 

Camber wear can be GREATLY reduced if you get a good alignment that sets your toe to within a hunderedth of 0.

Camber in itself is not such a big issue (in fact front negative camber is desired for hard cornering like in autocross), but it concentrates the bad effects of toe in or out on a smaller area.

 

i had the same problem when i had azenis 205/50/15....i had to raise it up a bit. now i have 195/50/15's lowered 2.5 and no rubbing but a nice camber wear.

 

2.50 drop with 15's and 195/50s no problems with rubbin.

 

yeah im thinkin if i go 195-50-15 and from what it sounds like i wont have that much of a prob with that size. on the tires i have now i cant even drive right now cuz everyone that see's the inside of the tire say's they will pop soon

 

The weird thing is that when i raised my car a bit, it tended to rub a bit more. Kinda odd, i guess my wheel fit inside the fender nicely when it was a tad lower.

 

195/50/15 on 15x6.6 +40 offset slipstreams. When my car was slammed my tires rubbed againt my fenders. Had to raise it up about half an inch to stop the rubbing.

 

wow.... great job on the hatch.

I had 195/50-15s on 15x6.5" +40s, but they rubbed so I switched to 195/45-15s on 15x7" +40 wheels. I drive it with about a 4" overall drop with no rubbing issues.

 

4" that's low

 

i have 205/40/16s, lowered...prolly around 3 inches, and i have no rubbing issues. camber is my friend.

but even when i had what i thought to be some positive camber in rear, i still had no rubbing.

 

195/40/14 daily 2 inch drop no rub or camber


BY THE WAY I love that black hatch makes me miss mine ALOT but whatever I got a black rex now

 

yeah that black ef is sex candy.

 

205/50/15 on 15x7" wheels with +40 offset. Lowered probably 2.5-3" all the way around.

I had to roll the rears. They were rubbing bad even with the 600lb springs I run back there.
