I have a 96 civic stock (not lowered or anything) I just put some 17's on yesterday...
For some reason it's like the back tires are rubbing when I make turns. Or it's rubbing up against something around the tire. I have no idea. I have just been taking it slow around turns. The fronts dont. Just the back tires, and I want to say it might just been the passengers side back tire.
Can anyone give me any advice??
Thanks

 

depending on the offset and design of the wheel you can rub 13s. maybe. ha. what size tires do you have? take a picture or something.

 

i have 17 on my civic no problem on front and back and its dumped about 2 in front and back what series tires do u have im running 205/40/17 . are ur struts still good if not thats more thatn likly what it is

 

bad struts more than likely won't cause tires to rub.

 

sounds like incorrect offset in the rear

 

I had 17s on my civic for years... didn't rub too bad :P

 

Sounds like too much body roll, the wrong offset, or both. If you have stock springs I'd suspect body roll, but that shouldn't be a problem unless your offset isn't right. That's why I think it's a combination of the two..

 

So, I just need to have them balanced?? maybe, proberly? ....lol

 

You need to bend the lip in on your fenders. Search for how to roll your fenders on how to do it. Or get smaller rims. Thats why I will not go larger than 15's

 

thanks, I serached and I think that will solve my problem. I'll let you know. It only does it on the passengers back tire. Is that normal?
