Default 4th gen prelude wheel rub

No responses yet from the prelude section. Hoping somebody here can help me:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by xthephilx &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I installed my tein flexes today. I set the ride height settings to the reccomended specs, put my wheels on and they rubbed like ****. So I took those wheels off (the tires are 205/65/15, stock is 205/55/15.) and put on my old 18" wheels. The outer diameter on the 18s is smaller, but I don't really like running the 18s. I still get wheel rub going over speed bumps too fast.

My questions are:

1. If I bump the ride height up a ton, can I still run the 15" wheels?
2. If I bump the ride height up just a bit, that would solve the wheel rub problem with the 18s, right?

And yeah, I'm getting smaller tires on my stock alloys. The 18s are just to hold me over until I can save up for new tires.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Do you still have your fender liners? Where are the tires actually hitting??

I am dropped on D2s and have zero rubbing with 205/65/15s, but I have no fender liners....
