Default Civic Rubbin' Rear! Help!

Alright... I have a 93 Honda Civic Coupe. I lowered it with Arospeed Springs and Tokico Illumina Struts. I plan on going Ground Controls but thats besides the point. Here is the problem. I had 17 inch rims with 205-40-17's on it and I sold them. Now I have 18inch Velox VXK's with 215-35-18's and the rear is rubbing really bad when I take corners at normal speeds or hit bumps. The tire is rubbing on the lip on the inside of the fender quite badly. I was thinkin about cutting that lip out and go from there. I need some advice as to what to do to make the rubbing stop. All comments appreciated. Thanks.

I also think that someone makes arms that move your rims inward.

theres your problem right there, 18 inch rims. you probably have the wrong offset, 18s are too big for a civic. get the correct offset rim, or roll your fenders.
