I recently bought two 205/40/17 tires and had them installed in the front with two 215/40/17 in the back. I bought a Skunk 2 rear camber kit for my 6th gen civic and now have problems with the back tires rubbing on the outside of the tire. My question would be, if I swap the 215s in the back to the front and 205s in the back, would that correct my rubbing problem, or would I still need to roll the fenders?

 

You'll probably need to do both (switch tires and roll the fenders) depending on how much you lowered it, what your camber settings are in the back end, and what offset wheel you're running.

Also, just a warning, if you put the 215s up front they'll probably rub, too.

 

I put the 215s in the front, and they dont rub unless making a sharp turn. The 205s got put into the back, and they only rub on the passenger side which is odd, but I will try rolling the fenders and try and fix the problem.

 

It's between the camber angles in the rear and the wheel offset then. Given that it's only one side, I'd say it's probably the camber angle.

 

If its just one side, id say its the camber angle or that strut has seen better days. But I know some spring kits tend to be a slight bit off on the drop sometimes from wheel to wheel.

 

Yeah, I'm interested more into the suspension set-up on my car rather than how fast it can go right now. Instead of making a new thread I was wondering what I should replace with what right now. I currently have AGX KYB adjustable shocks and eibach springs, I'm beginning to not like the drop that my car has on it (the front bumper without lip or anything as just over a foot of ground clearance) and want to go a little bit higher, but what would I need to replace/fix to make it go up a quarter of an inch or so? I'm also not entirely happy with the size of the rims that are on it, plus they are really dinged up. I was thinking of going with a 16" rim instead of 17". Any suggestions?
