Default 35 offset camber?

Ok stock offset on 97 civic is 45, went with buddyclub sf challenges 35 offset 15x6.5, kuhmo 205/50/15's with tokico illumina full suspension kit= 1.5" drop, sk2 rear camber kit. Problem is under cornering both front and rear tires rub, any suggestions on a dialed in front and rear cmaber that will avoid the rubbing issues?

Hmm, I really don't think anything should rub with that size tire/wheel offset and such a moderate drop. Unles your **** is straight up almost bottoming out nothing should rub.

Where exactly is it rubbing? If its the outer fenders just roll em.

Ok, front tires rub on I believe the liner only, but I really don't want to remove, due to cai, and the rears rub on the qtr pnl/fender, I could roll em but thats like $200, I guess I'll just hve to wait till tires wear out and buy new 195's, I think I got oem specs fo the camber so I don't run through tires, what were you guys running for neg cam?

Running a small amount of negative camber may solve your problem.

I cut a rectangle patch out on the top of my fender lining where the tires rub because I didn't want to take it completely out. As for the fender rolling, I was only charged $25 each fender.

I need to find someone in socal, I pretty much do all work through J&J performance, they reffered me to a guy that does top grade work but chrages high $, anyone know of someone you can trust in the I.E. socal?

I think I'll try notching my liners, they are shot anyway, and when it's time for new tires (195's) down the road I'll just try to score some new liners
