Default suspension problem

Ok I just purchased a 93 Dx Hatch completely stock except for 15" MR7 wheels. Here is my problem, when I turn right the drivers side rear tire rubs against the wheel well. Why is this happening? and how can I get this fixed? Future plans are to lower it, but if this keeps happening I suppose lowering it is out of the question.

Any help/suggestions would be awesome

Thanks

Denny

What kind of tires are on the rims?

What is the offset on the rims?

Are you sure it has stock suspension?

I love it when people leave out THE MOST ESSENTIAL PART TO THE QUESTION--THE SPECS

C'mon, if you have a tire rubbing issue, tell us the tire size and anything to do with your suspension...

"My engine won't start, help me fix it." You get what I'm saying?

maybe your shocks are bad, which cause it to sag a little when you turn.

offset and universal lug pattern are two totally different things.


offset # are usually 38-40 mm for hondas and universal lug pattern for hondas are 4 x 100 & 4 X 114

I HIGHLY recommend you to recheck your rim specs.
