Only on hard cornering when there is a bump i think my tire rubs my fenders a bit, but other than that no you're fine. _____________________________ (in reply to GReddy_Civic) Post #: 3

I plan on 16's but when you get them on I would love to see some pics since i might plan on doing this if it drops the car low enough. Coilovers are expensive!!!

RE: question on s-techs - 5/6/2008 7:09:41 PM    addiction2bass Posts: 6866 Joined: 6/21/2006 Status: offline ya depends on offset on the wheels.... on my front i only slightly rubbed the plastic inner fender clip when turning and hiting a bump... other wise no rubbing... but the rear i would rub the inner fender lip so i had to roll them.... if your scared of rubbing after puting the new springs on then i would sugest having some stock wheels ready to slap on the car after ya give the car a quick test drive...... the rear fender lip is probably the worst area to rub because its sharp metal that will eat right thru the side of the tires and thats the unrepairable area so once it cuts to deep the tires trash :(  _____________________________ 99 civic ex, being redone.
