Does anyone rub with 205/50/16 on an EM1?

Hey everyone just got my car back and this time i just installed some wheels along with a new heater core. The car was on stock rims now i put some 16 enkei rpf1 with 205/50/16 yokohama tires on it. I bought it with the tires used on ebay. They were almost brand new not a scratch on them. But the tires are rubbing crazy!!! i lowered it with neuspeed springs from an integra(new) and have the stock si struts. It rubs everytime i turn a certain amount an it rubs when i hit a little bump sometimes over an intersection if it is not glass smooth. I dont want to have to sell these tires. They still have the little prickly things on them. The guy said that the tires were too big. Is there any other solution does anyone else have this problem.... Raising the car is not an option... and the tire/rim combo is sick! especially on a fbp...

anyhelp is greatly appreciated!

get a 40 profile and stiffer springs and shocks. if you wont raise it, thats all the options left. other than roll the fenders and remove the fender liner
