Default Wheel rubbing= Loose axle?

Ok my f-ing wheel is rubbing bad and i just got a new axle in. Now after 2 weeks the f-ing axle is getting loose again. Do you think it is from wheel rubbing? If so anyone have a good fix for this I thought about shaving the wheel well down. thanks

if you think your wheel is rubbing you could always roll your fenders

It is rubbing on the inside not outside... I have 17's on 205/40ZR17 Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 or something like that. It is on neuspeed springs and bilstein yellow series shocks. Any help? thanks

humm.. thats gonna run u 400 bucks for new tires.. why not buy a nice set of coil overs so u can adjust ur hieght to were u want it at.. 35 series isnt that much smaller then 40.. ur gonna be real pissed if u get new tires and it still rubs. besides that ur car is gonna ride real rough if it already dont now with those low profiles

Ok but the problem still is that my car is not that low as it is. My old civic was set up with maxspeed coilovers 2 1/2 drop with 225/35ZR18 and it never rubbed. Not when I turned or when i hit a bump it never rubbed and the fender was about a cm away from the tire. heres my car: http://xkustomsonline.cjb.net It is under member pages Brandon's Civic.
