I have 16" Rota GT3's 205/55/16 and their rubbing nasty on my 93 civic coupe any suggestions on what to do?

 

how low is ur car? roll the fenders.

 

roll and or pull if its really bad

 

Really bad, it started to rip the rubber off the outer wall of the tire.Its mostly rubbing in the front

 

bump cus i have the same probably with my new rims :/

im guessing you need to roll your fenders. that's what im gonna do

 

AHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh krap.

 

Buy that nive E class in picture one, just kidding. Got coilovers? Too much drop for those wide rims. Roll the fenders, also you might be rubbing on your upper control arm in the front judging by the drop. Or the inside of the wheel well. 16" rims with 55 series tires and any drop is a bad idea on an EG.

 

What's that ugly C-240 doing in your garage?

 

anybody know where i can rent one of the fender rollers in los angeles?

 

bump in need of help

 

you can rent from tirerack.com

 

couldnt find it

 

i tnink that is the wrong size tires i have 16 on my car and i have 205/45r16
and it drives fine never robs i have 2.25 in the front and 2.0 in the rear

 

you have a civic coupe?

 

rear camber links in the rear will fix the rubbing in the rear

205/55/16 is too much tire.

That will rub on a stock suspension. Your only option is to roll the fenders. I tried a 195/60/15 on my 93 Ex and I had problems with the tire rubbing on the inner frame rail while turning.

The average O.D. of a 205/55/16 tire is ~25"

The stock tire size on that car is a 185/60/14 which has an O.D. of ~22.7"

p.s. Aren't Azenis known to run a bit big...

 

thanks top_shotta. We'll see how the rolling of the fenders work out tomorrow. Ill take pictures. Thanks again!

 

damn those tires are thick, I rub with my tires too, I have 205/45/16 and man it rubs when I bust a nut. Only thing i tried doing is rolled the fender as much as I can. It helped somewhat but didn't toally cure the problably, Only solution is to raise your car

I had a similiar problem and i fixed it with the tire size change

either get a different offset, raise the car, or cut the fenders away. they have tools to do this relatively nicely. You should repaint the car after cutting fenders, and maybe when rolling fenders in certain instances.

from the pictures i would imagine you need a different offset and that rolling fenders wont help much.

Yeah, OR get the right sized tire.

 

HEY nice thread, I jsut got some 15' Rims, and i got some 205/50/15 Yokohamas. Now the question is that i have recently dropped it 1.5 inches, not i want it lower, i should get a coilover kit, or just some shocks, will that help make it like a inch loweR?
