Default Wheels Rubbing

I drive a 96 honda civic hatch. Just put 17's on it and it rubs on turns. It is lowered. I heard that i could take out the plastic liner inside the fender well but i don't really see how that would help. Any ideas?

Ummm...get used to it. Oh and when you hit your first big bump, look for the lip of your fender to get pushed out. That will quiet down some of the rubbing when that happens

I got GSR's on mine and it rubs only on the driver side on hard right turns and big bumps. The car is stock height and the plastic lining is gone from the passenger side. I will remove it from the driver side to see if it stops the annoying *** rubbing. I will also lower it.
