I have some 17 inch rims with racing tires on my 95 DX sedan and when I take a sharp turn I get some rubbing noise. Should I have my suspension adjusted up a bit?

 

1. is your car lowered?
2. did you purchase the correct sized wheel with the proper offset?
3. did you purchase the correct sized tire?
4. why are you driving around on racing tires?

 

you probably need new coilovers if your running on your stock setup with high miles, i had same problems with my new rims / tires.

if your cheap and you want the rubbing to go away, take a hammer and a sheet cutter and have at the lip. take off the little plastic V thing that slides over the lip, cut about 3 notches in it, and be gentle and ding up the lip as much as you can,put yourlittle V things back on and your G2G. itll give you probably 1/2" - 1" more clearance (depending on how far your dinged). worked on my car until i spent the $ on skunk2 pro coilovers.

thats if the rubbing is in the rear, it should be cuz at least on my car the front has more clearance

 

Sorry I guess they aren't really "racing tires" but they are the smaller racing style. I just got some new tires and they were like 4-500 for the set! The rims came with the car and I dont really know too much about them. It is only the front 2 tires that give me the rubbing noise and its only when I take sharp turns going faster than I should be. Im sort of new to having a car that I am actually looking foward to having. This is my first civic and again I appologize for my ignorance on the subject.
