Default Wheel problems!!!

Like I said in my other post, I am rubbing on the passenger side/front rim. My integra is dropped ~1.5" if that, and when I go over little bumps while turning right, it rubs.

My other problem is: The front, passenger side wheel sticks out past the fender a little bit for some reason, and the other rims do not. They are 17x7.5" Volk TEs, and are +45 offset. What is my problem!?!?! Took it to an alignment place, and they said nothing was wrong! I'm like WTF!

Try This:
Rotate your wheels and see if that same corner has the problem still. This will rule out your rims.

Are you sure the rims are all the same?

Improperly seated hub-ring maybe?

Dunno.

For starters, they're 17" rims. What size are your tires? If your aspect ratio is too high (i.e. the thickness or profile the tire), it'll cause clearence problems.

Also, you're running 45mm offset. That's the OEM offset for stock wheels that are 6" wide. Since your wheels are now 7.5" wide, there is more wheel intruding into the wheel well. An offset of 40mm (or even 38mm) would help this situation.

My tires are 205/40/17 Parada Spec 2s... I understand what you're saying about more wheel intruding the wheel well, but wouldn't that cause all the rims to stick out, or at least both the front ones? Why is only the right side, front wheel sticking out?
