Default my tires are rubbing...

i currently have 205/55/15 tires on my car and whenever i cut the wheel really hard they rub against the inside of the wheel well. relatively soon i will be replacing them with a 50 series tire, but i dont think thats going to solve everything. what else can i do to get more space between? should i have the walls rolled like the kids that put 19's on their civics?

Stiffer springs would help minimize the body roll. Raising the car up a little is another solution. More negative camber will tilt the top of the wheel in more. All these options have trade-offs but will work.

i plan on ordering some eibach sportlines and koni yellow's to stiffen the ride. i was also thinking about a GSR/ITR front sway bar. i have the ITR front upper strut and the rear sway and they made a huge improvement, but im not sure how much impact the front sway will have. do you think that in conjunction with some lower profile tires will be enough? thanks..
