My tires rub agains my fender.. how can i fix it?

Question

so i dropped my civic last week and i liked the way it came out but the problem is that the tires rub way too much when im making a turn or when im in the freeway and the car goes up and down... i want to know what can i do or buy so the tires wont rub as much or at all? and no raising it is not an option.... thank you....

Answer 1

If you won't raise the car back up, about the only option would be to put on narrower tires.

Answer 2

Spring tension's,they go right in the coils and you can pick em up at Wal Mart for dirt cheap.If that doesn't work,well the tires are to tall,you need smaller.

Answer 3

Mafrk F suggests to roll the fenders; he is correct, but it may not do the trick if it is dropped too far but worth the try. One way to roll the fenders is to use a baseball bat. Place the bat between the tire and fender and then slowly push the car forcing the bat to roll under the fender causing the inner edge of the fender to change shape. Be carefull not to damage the fenders shape/look on the outside. That is why you push the car slowly so you can watch what the fender does and can stop the process if it starts to damage. Choose the portion of the bat that best fits the roll needed. Good luck.

Answer 5

You may get away with just getting lowrider tires. Check with a local tire store, maybe they will fit with your exisiting rims.

Answer 6

you probably need smaller tires or shocks and springs.
