did you have it aligned after you dropped it, and what were the results?

WHERE exactly is it rubbing? You will probably have to remove the front wheels and look for wear marks.

What are the specs on your new wheels/tires?

My 18's rub when I turn the wheel all the way. Just avoid turning it really far, and if you have to... well, too bad.

if the top of the tire is rubbing on the outside of the wheel well (and ONLY there) you may need MORE negative camber... it's hard to say for sure though without knowing the current specs... what else do you have to install before you get an alignment??

you still haven't answered all of my questions [8D]

ps. I have my Civic lowered way more than yours, my stock 14's don't rub at all, 205/45/16s only rub slightly at full lock
