Default Tire Rub

Does anyone out there have 17inch rims with 45 series tires? stock gsr suspension? Does it rub in the rear?

rubbing in the rear is odd.

rubbing usually occurs when the tire is turned. if it is rubbing in the rear...the rim and tire size and offset is all wrong for the car.

first of all, dont get 45 series.
secondly, 17" rims and stock springs = 4x4 look.
and third, rubbing in the rear happens sometimes. my old 17's had a +37mm offset, so i had to roll the rear fender lip h:

had to roll my rears when i tried to get smart and use 215/40 on 17x7.5 rims with a +40mm offset, rubbed like crazy when the car was too low or when i hit a bump. but if you have a stock suspension you wont have to worry bout the rear rubbing since there's gonna be a big gap between the wheel and fenders

Rolling fenders?

http://integra.vtec.net/wheels/rollfender.html

I might do the same; my 215/40/17 RE730's are rubbing big time on my rear outside fender lip...however I have heard stories of paint peeling from rolled fenders.
