Default Help with sagging rearend

OK, I have a 4th Gen 2-Door Accord. I just installed, Eibach Sportline Springs, KYB AGX dampers, Arospeed Camber Adjustment Kit and Suspension Tech Sway Bar kit. I did the work 2 days ago. I also put a set of 17x7 ADR DV-8 Wheels with 215/45R17 tires. My tire is only about 3/4" away from my rear fender and every time I hit any dip in the road or corner hard the tire rubs.

Is there a remedy that can fix this problem?

use a different off set wheel or a 215 40 17 tire or roll your fender. 4 gen don't have a lot of clearance rear wheel well.

Pahahahahaha

You should be fine with a 2" drop and 17"s.

I am glad I went with a 1.7" drop otherwise I would have to go back to stock. The car really handles well now thought!!!!

Thanks for the input!!

That is one reason I put 2.3 TL 16' wheels on my car no clearance problem

215/45/17 is too big on that offset and drop.
raise it or get used to it or change the tires.

I actually ordered 205/45R17 which would have been the exact same height of my 185/70R14 Stock tires, unfortunately that would have been too big too.

Since you guys weren't the ones answering my questions back when I was searching for the right size wheel and tire combo, I chose the wrong combo.

I was told pahahahahaha with a 2" drop and 17" tires I would be fine, I was also told as long as I didn't get 100 spoke dayton bling bling wheels I would be fine.

To everyone else, 17x7 (40mm offset) and 215/45R17 wheel combo isn't a good idea with the Eibach Sportline, KYB AGX combo package. Too much scraping going on.

Thank you guys for your input!!!!!
