Default Lowered, think itll rub or have camber issues?

I cant drive the car and it has no brakes so im asking this question.

I know ill have to align it but i am not running a camber kit at all, you can definetely tell the tires tuck in a little more than the pic shows. pretty much finger gap all around but springs havent settled so may have to readjust.

Question is will it rub in the inner rear fender wells or rub anything at all? And will it camber wear bad without the kit? if so than i will force myself to get a kit dont want to destroy tires.

turn the steering wheel lock to lock and see (visually) if it will hit.

your low but your not low as a lot of other hondas are. the height your at now guessing you only have springs? you shouldnt worry about camber wear at all it all depends on where you bring your car to get aligned. dont worry about camber kits unless you plan on bringing your car to the track or going lower. also for rubbing it depends on the series tire your running 195 55 and your ride height now youll never rub but if they are 195 60 tires you probably wont rub unless you hit a bump

its a 195 55 tire so stock size, id prefer a 205 50 but maybe down the road. and no i have full coilovers but i dont wanna go that low, finger gap is low enough for me. I do plan on going to the track to drag race so would camber kit be needed you think?

The car is sitting a little lower than the pic but not too much. you have a camber kit on that civic dont you?

My db7 is lower on one-pieces with no camber kit. I've had the same tires for over a year now.
Just make sure they adjust the toe properly when you get your alignment done.

195-50 is a good size tire to get if you're on 15s, speedo will probably be off though.

maybe go a little smaller on the tire, but you shouldnt have any issues. my DA was slammmmed and it didnt even rub at full lock, did have fender linings removed tho. and for a slight drop like that, you dont need a camber kit. premature tire wear is much more due to alignment than camber.

Bad toe settings wear tires more than camber. Get an alignment if youre that worried about it. The car really isnt that low and probably wont rub in reality.

You still have factory adjustments on the rear. Def worth the 4wheel alignment.

i may have misworded part of this also. im more worried about the rear quarter lip or front fender lip rubbing against my tire, i figure the side to side will be ok.

Why a 4 wheel alignment if you cant adjust rear?

dude you have nothing to worry about. your not slammed if anything youll probably rub when you hit bumps. just get a good four wheel alignment just so you know everythings good and youll be set
