Maybe look into something from tein? Thats the other major brand that pops in my head. But with suspension from what ive seen you get what you pay for so keep that in mind.

reason your tires r rubbing is becuase you are prolly running some fat *** tires. im sure if you ran some 205/195 50/55' tire's you woun't rub anymore.

He already said his running low pro tires. So he probably ether has 45,50,55 series tires. But they sell tire fender rollers..

You have either the wrong size tires, or the wrong wheel width or offset because you should not be rubbing at all with 15" wheels and Sportlines on a '92-95 Civic.

What tire size are you using and what width and offset are your wheels?

I can't figure out why or where you would be rubbing with those. It shouldn't.

Rolling the fenders is only going to help if the tires are actually rubbing the fenders.

If they're rubbing on the fender liners, body seams in the wheel wells, or on suspension arms, then it won't achieve anything.
