Default Tire\Tyres Rubbing on 95 Civc 4DR

Changed my stock 14 inch filthy wheels and tyres to some nice 16 Lo Pro Toyo's, now when I turn corners I get some "Nasty Rubbing" going on. Any advice? Ive been told stiffer suspension might reduce it. I've also been told it because of the offset of the wheel not the size!

what is your stock size before and what size did you changed it to? Also, do you know both stock and aftermarket wheels offset?

Alrighty, they were 185/65/14. The offset is different! the reason they are rubbing is because of the offset! I want to know what ideas you might have to reduce the rubbing.

Change the wheels....they DON'T fit. It's really that simple. There are no "fixes"

or raise your car up a titty bit, ha. what size tires are you running now? I have rota's I mean i know their 15's but im running 185/60/15 and mine is slammed and it doesn't rub or anything. Or yeah get better suspension, shocks, struts etc. w/a camber kit. expensive but it'll do that job.

what is the offset on the aftermarket wheels?

if its too far from stock you will be better off selling them and buying ones that are made to fit your car. sorry...i know its not what you want to hear...but its the truth.
