Default 89 civic si with skunk2 pro s 2 coilovers help!

So I've recently installed the front coilovers onto my civic. I have 16" wheels and the tires are rubbing the fender walls. I can barely squeeze my finger in the top. I know these coilovers are adjustable and this is a totally noob question, but can I raise the height a bit with these? You can easily unscrew the coils just a bit to allow more room but the springs aren't tight at that point. I also have been looking in to getting my fenders rolled, however I will need to remove the plastic lining from the fender and am not sure if it should be put back after rolling. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you, that helped a ton. Since mine are at the highest they can be and there is still rubbing, do you have any tips for rolling the fender?

Get someone with a tool and do it right. Or bust out the baseball bat and roll them with that. I prefer a wooden bat myself. Probably need to jack the car up and possibly remove the wheel to roll your fenders with the bat technique.

I have the same setup. I just let it rub since I don't give a ****. . The ride is so rough that I want to shoot myself for putting those damn things on, anyway.

Remember kids, this is why no one suggests Skunk2.
