Default Tire problems

Ok need some advice on this one... I got 17in. low pro's on my 99 civic si and my wheel well is rubbing on the exterior part of the tire... So I was wondering if I would add some sway bars and some roll bars will it stiff'n up my ride enough so the body doesn't roll on my tires anymore or am I going to have to get 16's.... Don't really wanna go that route though....

So it is rubbing when you turn then? Have you lowered your car at all? Getting the struts will keep from body roll but I am not sure if it will stiffen the suspension enough to keep the tires from rubbing. It will make a difference, though, IMO. I would think giving the car a little lift would fix it or just dont ever take turns... just plan out a perfectly straight route everywhere

I haven't gotten any lowering suspension kit for the car... When I bought it I was informed that she had a lowering kit on it, and it was alot lower than before, so I had them adjust it because I was bottoming out like crazy, the only problem is that whoever owned the care before me was a jew and got some really cheap kit... So, appreciate it and if worse case I just have to plan that perfectly straight route
