I just got done putting on my 17" Motegi MR7's with yoko parada spec 2's on my 2k civic LX. The car is lowered with bilstein shocks and H&R sport springs(supposedly 1.75"). My problem is that the tires rub like crazy, their is no room in the back wheel wells so every turn or even on a hard acceleration the tires rub. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem are greatly appreciated. I was thinking that I might have to get different springs, but if there is another way around it, that would be great. Thanks in advance for any replies.

i would say your tires are too wide. but rubs on hard acceleration ???? :-\ dunno.

 

What tires do you have and what's the offset on your rims?

 

I hope that your tire size isn't 215/45/17's...

 

The offset is 35mm, the rims are 17x7 and the tires are 205/40/17's

 

If you had a 42-45mm offset you probably wouldn't be having that problem.

 

your offset is off.

 

My bad on the offset, i read the box wrong, they are 40mm offset

 

You're still off though.

 

+40 shouldnt be too bad... most slipstreams run that offset.

are the inners rubbing or the top?
