Q. I just lowered my car... will my tires rub?
A. Well, we need some information here. Generally speaking, it won't matter how much you lowered your car or what size your wheels are. What we need to know is: are you using the right tire size? Also (and this is the big one), what is your wheel's offset? For the most part, anything smaller than 18" should not have rubbing problems (on 7th gen and earlier civics) when you lower your car, assuming you have the correct offset.
Offsets are kind of tricky, to be completely honest; too low of an offset and the tire will rub on the outside of the fenders, too high of an offset and the front tires will rub the inside of the fender around tight turns (my old EG had the rub marks to prove it). Generally (for EGs and EKs anyway), for a 7" wide wheel, +40 may rub in some cases, +42 should have no rubbing problems, and +45 might rub the inside of the wheel well around turns.
