I'm having tire rubbing problems...
 
So I just lowered my 96 Civic coupe with some H&R race springs and some KYB AGX's, but now the car is about an inch lower than I expected it to be and the front tires rub when I make sharp turns. The back tires have like half a millimeter space between them and the fender so I'm guessing those are probably hitting too. The tires I have right now are 185/65/14's so should I just go with a lower profile tire (if so, what size?)or try to find some spacers or something?

is it slammed now or is it just a normal lowering..

i would suggest smaller profile tires, cuz 65 is kinda big. get some like 185 or 190/50 or 55 if u gotta keep the rim size. my eg hatch is just above slammed with 195/55-15's and i only rub if i hit a bump in a turn

the back aren't rubbing, because the suspension won't let it, it tucks when compressed, not like the front, witch travles up and down on an axis. but anyway i had the same problem on my 95civic, when i out on my eibach road race springs. i had to take out my inner fender covers in the front, and roll the lip of the fenders. no more rub, but no more fender cover either :-\

I'm gonna go down and get some 185/60/14's tomorrow test fitted to see if that will help, I think it will be juuuuuuuuuust enough to barely miss though. hopefully.
