wheel and tire issue
Hi, I am new to HAN, but not new to honda. I had a 1996 Acura Integra LS for two years now (pic = http://www.xioszone.com/files/504sca...raLS%20065.jpg ), and the current wheel and tire package i have on there right now rub and I have currently been through two sets of Dunlop Sport 5000 tires, they seem cheap and did not hold up well to any abuse or potholes for that matter I have the Eibach Pro-Kit on the car, installed by myself The camber correction kit was also put on by my mechanic and he aligned it for me. But now it rubs like crazy. So i am thinking of getting a new tire and wheel package, since the rims i have on there got old to me after having them for two years, and the tires are complete crap and they rub. My question is do any of you have anintegra with the eibach pro-kit and have a wheel and tire package that does not rub? If so, what is it? Also, any information at how durable the tires are would be helpful.

To give you an idea how far the wheels/tires stick out on my car, http://www.xioszone.com/files/504sca...raLS%20016.jpg
They stick out just as much on the front, sorry i dont have a side shot of the wheels completely straight.

Your car does not look that low, and I know Eibach gives a considerable drop. I have 17's on a 2inch drop and does not rub and all. Here is some clues, your tires may be too big, the offset of your wheel may not be for your car, yeah they may bolt on , but they could be going in too far or not enough, furthermore, they look like American Racing and if they are, that could be a problem too. That co. is more in tune to Domestics rather than imports.

I have a 2 inch drop and my wheels barely rub. I recommend rolling the fenders. Have someone do it or do it yourself with a bat and some patience. I would recommend getting a tire/wheel package because those rims are UGLY. Stock GSR/LS rims look pretty nice as well.

the rims i have i believe are 7.5 or 8" wide plus i know the offset is wrong on them. just look at how far they stick out. but now i just wanna know what you guys ar running and also the offset and wheel width.
edit - forgot to mention tire size on there now is 195/50/zr15 so i know that the tire width isnt the problem
