Default 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.
