Tire Rub issue

I have a 2000 Si, lowered 2'' with progress springs and Tokico illumina shocks. Im using the stock alloy rims(15'') with Dunlop SP Sport 195/55/15 and im getting mad tire rub during hard cornering. What can I do to get rid of this problem? Thanks.

Re: Tire Rub issue (jeffk182)

raise the car tad bit more with different springs that don't lower it that much...or go with thinner tires...say 50 series or 45 series isntead of 55...but if you dont want to do either, then there's no other way

When you roll your fenders, does it bend the entire fender, or just the thin tab on the fender inside of the wheel well?

try the 195/50. if that doesn't work, then you're going to need to raise the car up some.

Re: Tire Rub issue (jeffk182)

where is it rubbing the front or back??? sounds like you have some serious body roll.. you shouldn't and personally i wouldn't roll my fenders for factory size tires..
my 00si is on the ground with factory's and doesn't rub at all!!!

you may want to invest in Coilovers or update the rear sway bar (its only 13mm)

Hrmm...it seems like both the front AND rear rub. I guess I have some body roll now...

I was thinking of saving and getting HKS Hipermax II coilovers in the future.. I guess i'll try 50 series tires, and if that doesn't help, i'll find a way to roll my fenders. Thanks for the help guys!
