Default fender rubbing? 17" rims and 1.5 drop

hi,
I have H&R Spring with 1.75 Front and 1.5 back drop on my integra. I just bought 17" rims with 205/40/17 tires.

Can I put my rims in without any rubbing? I put the tire 17" tire side by side with the car, I do see that it touches the fender.

Any solution/suggestions?
I am thinking of doing a fender roll, is it gonna work?

thanks so much.

Are you sure it's touching the fender? Is it when you turn or when you hit a bump?

What shocks do you have?

I am not sure because i didn't put it in yet. I have KYB AGX shocks.
When I put the tire by my car, I do see that i touches.

Is it gonna be ok? I don't want to waste money on labor and having it return later.

thx

Oooh, can you put, lol, sorry. I thought it was an existing problem.

I had Comptech Drop Springs (1.25/1.5), and 17x7.5 205/40/17, I never had a problem with rubbing on the fenders. I would rub on the firewall when I'd turn my wheels all the way, but it was nothing major.

If you are using the correct offset 17" wheels, you should not have issues. I only rub when I have a few people in the car. I have the same exact setup as you. (H&R & KYB)

I agree, if the offset is correct your good to go. I am dropped 2 inches w/17's and 205/40's. It never rubs, on bumps, dips, turns, you name it, it is fine. Also, don't roll your fenders, you'll run the chance of cracking the paint and then it'll look like shit.

Put the tire on, drive around, and see if it rubs.

Most wheels for the 94-01 Integra have an offset of 38mm or 40mm, though I have seen 36mm, 37mm, and 42mm as well. My 16" OZs have a 37mm offset and I have no problem with rubbing; I have AGX shocks and Comptech springs.

they will not rub dont worry about it. you cannot tell by putting the wheels and tires up to your car, they will be totally different on your car than if you just set them by your car.
