Default Will 17's rub with my Neuspeed Race springs??

I have 16's on my GSR now wrapped with 205/40's. They don't rub at all. I really want to move up to a 17" again with 205/40's. Think I'll be facing any rubbing problems?? Here is what my car looks like with the 16" Konig Tuners...

205/40-16 is an inch smaller in diameter than 205/40-17, so the 17" tire will be 1/2" closer to the fenders. The car will also be 1/2" higher off the ground.

What size tires where you running? I'm on GR-2 shocks with no rubbage whatsoever, not even during autocrosses.

Yeah, mine rubbed with Neuspeed Race Springs....only in the front though. I had to borrow my friend's set of Neuspeed Sport ones for a few weeks until I sold my wheels and tires and bought 16" Rotas.

I wouldn't get them. Get Neuspeed Sport....they look just as good.

So when you got your 16's, did the rubbing stop?

After I put my 16"s on and my Race springs back on, there was no rubbing.

I used to have em on 17s and my boss still does. You will experience minor rubbing during hard cornering with the wheel cranked all the way to one side. Something you may want to seriously consider if you auto x.

im running 205/50/16's.
I'm surprised you're not rubbing now, 205/50-16 is what I had on my old car, it's about an inch larger in diameter than stock Integra tires.

Dammit...I had my mind set on 17's, but I guess I'd better stick with 16" wheels since I already know that they won't rub...

same here i rubbed only when doing a full right hand turn @ 50 mph. or when i was rollin deep with like four ppl in my car. But when i was by myself driving i didnt rub at all. car was too high so i decided to cut mt Race springs and it dropped another inch. **** was slammed.

It's weird...my stock wheels would rub with the wheel turned all the way to the right, but the 16's don't rub at all? I guess the offset of the 16's has something to do with this?

I had a friend who did this in his Civic... Cut race springs, we'd routinely have to lift his car over speed bumps.. Got old real quick.
