i just got my skunk2 lowering springs and the struts will be here in a few days and i was wondering what i can do to prevent my 17s from rubbing just for now until i get smaller tires. these are goin on a 95 hatch. it looks like the previous owner cut and rolled the back fenders but idk if that will do it. im not entirely sure it will rub but i have heard from a few people it will and am just looking for some advice until i can afford some 15s or 16s. thanks

 

it depends...how wide are ur 17's

 

they are only 7 inches and my tires are 205-40-17

 

anybody? i really dont wanna find outthe hard way that i cant drive my car with this suspension

 

can anybody help me out and give some advice experience anything i know i cant be the only one out there that has had to deal with this problem

 

buy steelies

 

i have some with snow tires but seriously there has to be another option.. 4 years ago everyone had big wheels and were lowered its not as common now but i know theres gotta be a way

 

ive got eibach lowering springs on stock shocks/struts with 205/40/17's on my EM1 and i had no rubbing issues until i got my skunk2 camber kit and corrected the camber, i rolled my fenders and it helped A LOT but i think the only real way to fix the problem is drop down to 15's or 16's

 

how much of a drop are those cuz i thought that kit was only likean inch these drop 2.2 and 2.0.. also the plastic pieces that go in the fender are gone on my carwhat exactly are you rubbing on?

 

anyone please any info would be greatly appreciated

 

bump.. anyon know what i should do just for now

 

quit bumping the thread.put the springs on,drive it,figure out wheres it rubbing and fix it

 

thats exactly why i asked so i didnt have to tear up expensive tires to find out..

 

if u got good suspension...like tein flex that i have...no problem...only rub wen u turn 90 degree really fast and hit bumps hard...jus try it and see if it rubs or not
