Drag radials on my civic - prettttty sure these will rub
Hello-
*edit* looks like my server may be down
Probably not a hard question, but I just picked up a set of 15x6.5 konigs and got 225/50 tires for them and would like to know if this poses a problem. I am riding on neuspeed springs and tokico struts right now. I havent driven this yet, but I am fairly certain this won't work.. just looking to get a confirmation and perhaps a point towards a better spring/strut setup.
Thanks for looking!

Looks like your fenders and bumpers are already banged up. Just use a sledge hammer and you can make anything fit.

Re: Drag radials on my civic - prettttty sure these will rub (nsxtasy)
hahaha yeh the fender is a lil bruised from a stupid tow truck driver.
I found out last night that my driverside strut is damaged. I put the other wheel on the passenger side and was able to get my hand into the fender.
I found a brand new strut in the garage, but its labeled for the pass side. I noticed the differences were where the brake line secures, and also where the tang keeps the strut located. I could be wrong, but is it okay to use this passenger strut on the driverside until I get a new setup?
Thanks!!!

my buddy runs 225/50r15 drag radials and he had to raise the suspension a bit in the front so it didnt rub
those rims look sick i think im gonna buy a set what is the diameter of the hole for the centercap?

dunno, I can go measure for ya if you want... the rims came with centercaps I just dont know if I am using them
I ended up raising the strut in the fork ~.5" and it seemed to do the trick... the tire rubs on the lining over large bumps but other than that they are $$$
