Ok.... I just put on these rims...
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=689657

Offset is 40 and Si's I had 45....
Also have Tanabe Springs not sure on how much car is dropped..

The tires I had on Si's, but now are on the SM's are Khumo 712's 195/55/15...

Problem: The thing with these tires is that they rub against the body whenever I hit or go over a bump or dip.. It's mainly the back driver side tire... I have a cmaber kit so the tire is sitting pretty striaght because I had the car aligned about 3 weeks ago with the Si's..

These are the options I came up with (so I could aviod camber wear on that one tire and possible the others, because of the "off road" tires I have on)

Option 1: Get Yoko AVES 100's 195/50/15

Option 2: Get Basic Tein Coilovers Adj

Option 3: What would you recommend other than 2 posted..

P.S. I will try to get a pic of the car so you can see more or less the drop on it... lets just say it is about .5-.8 away from the fender...

But the problem with that back tires is that it is sitting right below the fender..
gtg... i will explain more later... i am posting right now to see if i can get a response... sorry..

Problem is with back tire not this one, but it is about the same gap.


Ok I find pics of the back tire... now just imagine that the top part of the tire is directly under the fender.


Posting passanger back tire to see if you can see drop better on this one..

I think the car is slammed a bit too low, I'd go with both options 1 and 2, the shorter tire will give you a better drive ratio, and the Tein coilovers will give you adjustable damping which though not practical on all applications, it's still nice to have.

 

tein basics don't have dampening force adjustability

Hmmm. . .I learn something new everyday. Thanks.

 

Bump. Does anybody else have a recommandation?

 

i would give it more camber in the rear or take out the camber kits all toghether. camber in the rear isn't going to wear out the tire nearly as much as it would in the front. so i would sacrifice camber for rubbing especially in the back
