17's Too Big?
I have a 96 civic stock (not lowered or anything) I just put some 17's on yesterday...
For some reason it's like the back tires are rubbing when I make turns. Or it's rubbing up against something around the tire. I have no idea. I have just been taking it slow around turns. The fronts dont. Just the back tires, and I want to say it might just been the passengers side back tire.
Can anyone give me any advice??
Thanks

Sounds like too much body roll, the wrong offset, or both. If you have stock springs I'd suspect body roll, but that shouldn't be a problem unless your offset isn't right. That's why I think it's a combination of the two..

You need to bend the lip in on your fenders. Search for how to roll your fenders on how to do it. Or get smaller rims. Thats why I will not go larger than 15's

Re: 17's Too Big?
thanks, I serached and I think that will solve my problem. I'll let you know. It only does it on the passengers back tire. Is that normal?
