new guy 1995 civic ek?

[jdreadjdm]

Hey fellas just stepped up my game from a 91 accord with 400xxx to a 95 civic ek? Its from canada so im assuming so. But besides that its got a d15 with 91k on it i love it, my question was what size tires can i fit on 15inch acura rims? They got 195/55s but they rub SO hard on the wheel well, maybe i can order a set of 185/50s? Will they still fit on the rim? The rims are clean id hate to get rid of them. Thanks

Let me add they rub hard only when sharp turns and only about a quarter to a half inch into the tire.

Was the car lowered at all? I have a 93 eg. I have aftermarket 15x5.5" rims wrapped in195/55 tires. No rubbing even after a 3" drop. I did how ever have to remove my inner fender liner.

On btw welcome

shes prettty low, the exhaust sits like two or 3 inches from the ground lol, i went to look if the struts were blown or anything but they arent its got jdm springs and some after market strut, so hopefully its just the tire to wide

I was gonna say... never heard of "JDM" springs before!

 

[jdreadjdm]

yeah sorry just woke up not thinking right but heres a picture of were its rubbing it was completley eating the tread off the tires.

Looks like you have some adjustable sleeves. You can raise those up if they arent seized.

 

[jdreadjdm]

yeah they have threads on them so im assuming i can raise it, my passenger side struts tower is loose and its raised up the right side by like an inch or so dont know if thats why. Maybe i need to get a camber kit? seems to be more camber on the right side of the car, its so aggrevating lol

 

[Mysteryemotionz]

Just raise the car

I would raise it until you got some new rubber. Then if it still rubs keep eliminating possibilities.

 

[jdreadjdm]

well its up on jack stands untill my new CV axle comes in and i ordered some 185/55r15s for my 15 inch acura rims hopefully they wont rub im praying lol, and i havent took it to inspection yet so im trying to fix all the odds and ends.
