| Senior STI Driver | Whats up folks? I was driving around tonight, and I notice that when I make a sharp turn my tire rubs on the wheel well (spelling?)... I have eibachs, and I havn't heard of this from anyone else... It generally only happens when two people are in the car... Anybody have this problem? Its not that dramatic, but it just never did it before and ive had the springs for a while now. This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |

| Amateur STI Driver | how wide are your tires? because I aslo get alittle rubbing in the rear under heavy cornering. I'm running 245/40 17in. S03s on 8.5in. wide rims. Although the S03s tend to run alittle wider than other brands, mine are only rubbing on the black rubber fender guard, which are removable. I haven't removed mine yet, because I don't get too crazy on the streets, but next time thru the canyons they're coming off. |

IWSTI Addict since: Feb 2004 Trader Rating: (0) | Yea on my old civic I had lowered with 17s when I put brand new tires on it it would rub on heavy cornering or when there were people in the car, it just wore down the tire a bit where it was rubbing until it didn't touch anymore. I never had problems with tires wearing out early or anything like that though, I wouldn't be worried. |

IWSTI Addict since: Nov 2003 Trader Rating: (2) | Odd that you are having rubbing issues though. The Eibachs don't really lower the car allot. I've autocrossed with the Eibachs and with passengers without any rubbing. This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
