^x2. We need to know what you're running your wheel and tire size.

Otherwise you're going to need to have your fenders rolled.

you have what, a 93 DX? those tires ARE larger than stock for that car.
and where is it rubbing? inside? outside? where are your tires getting damaged?

got em with the rims
xP

haha

lets see...

the tire is rubbing inside the wheel well up against a metal screw thats right by the passenger door and directly above the tire where the plastic guard meets the metal fender and the metal fender is ripping into the tire right in the middle or a bit off to the right from the middle

so are these my options?

different tires
camber kit
roll fender

thanks for all the info guys

if it's rubbing on the INSIDE of the wheelwell, then rolling your fender (on the outside) is not going to help

sounds like it's rubbing everywhere though?

I don't know where all the liners and fasteners are on your car, so I can't exactly picture what you are talking about

get an alignment. if that doesnt help or if you still notice more wear inside than out then you will want to look into a camber kit. Skunk2 and Omnipower are great.

Im having a similuar problem with my 00 civic. i bought the lowering kit from tokico. shocks and springs. the blue shocks are the hp series and it came with tokico red springs. the drop is suppose to be a 1.4 drop but my problem is that the front end of the car looks the same maybe a little higher and the back drop way more than 1.4 i can put three finger between the tire and wheel well lip in the front and only one in the back. plus i cant drive the car without the rear hitting the rear wheel well lip whenever i accelerate hard or taking a turn. i also install a camber kit on all four shocks and had the car alignment done. i have after market tires and rims on the car 17" tire size 205/40r17. i had to put back on the factory rims back on the rear so i can drive the car till i get it fix. i called tokico and the tec told me to take the camber kit off. that i dont need it with that small of a drop. is that true. any suggestion on how i can fix this problem... thanks

no more than like $50 at most places i believe...its worth it, if u dont u tires will wear much faster than their supposed to and u'll end up spending more.
