this cant be good can it?
i just traded my 15 inch rims with tires that said 55 .
for 17 inch rims with 45's
and yeterday i drove my friends to a party and when they all piled in my car. it made my car looked lowerd by like 2 inches i was rubbing so bad it was redictulous!!
my friend has 17's on his civic and he doesnt rub at all.
why is mine?
done people put 18's on there civic and also lower it and they dont rub?
i can barly drive one person with me with out turning and having it rub?
what should i do? is that a shocks problem?
or did i **** up and trade for something thats too big. and what if i get a small low profile tire?
this is what it looked like when two people got out

The tires are too big, you need a 40 series tire, not a 45. It still might rub though after that. Next time do your research before you throw random stuff on your car.

Thats weird i have 17 in rims on my civic and i have like an 1 1/2in gap you should do some research and see if you were even able to. Then see if your shocks are good and another reason could be if it was lowered at all

yea you need 205/40/17 also check your suspension your shocks may be blown, next before you trade test it out first.

ha alright... now i feel like a total dumb ***.
the tires are ****. but so where my other ones and i already new i needed new tires on those.
but if i go with 205/40/17 i should be ok?
i talked to my machanic and he said i need to get new springs he said look for some ajustable coil overs?
does that sound about right?

well with coilovers, thier for loweing the car and adjusting the ride height.. you definatly dont want to lower it with 17's, i have a hatch and i threw 17s on it and it rubbed like crazy... sold them the next day. i would just try to trade back man..

it all depends on the rims offset, yes get 205/40/17. you will be fine.
let me correct the young one again (supersize)
coilovers will allow you to raise the car height higher than stock or will lower it
