So my brother and I swapped his 15" rims for my steelies and every time i make a turn or hit a bump it makes this nasty rubbing sound obviously the tires hitting is there any way to eliminate that or should i just trade them for smaller rims? Im sporting a 92 civic hatch

 

It's probably too big of a tire. What is the tire size? Rim offset too if possible.

 

205/55 R15

 

^ Hmm. Possibly to wide of a tire? I would go with 195/55/R15? bump for possible suggestions.

 

i was thinking the same thing cause when i ride alone it doesnt do it as much but if another person is in the car with me it sounds really nasty and annoying

 

Its gotta be the tire size

 

are you getting this noise from the front or rear?

im not sure what its called but the plastic cover thats above your tire behind the fender, you might want to check that its not loose or hanging that it rubs everytime you turn your wheels

 

it sounds like its coming from the passanger side rear it happens on bumps and sharp left turns then it smells like burning rubber or something

 

^^^^

that should give you a hint. just get down there and check it out. how low is the rear sitting?

 

the passanger side seems lower, i got a guy who wants to trade me his 13' si rims for mine my rims are pcws any idea what their worth or if the trade is worth it?

 

is your car lowerd?

 

Not that I know of
