Alloy wheels / Suspension
(Hope this is the right section).
Hi Guys,
I've got a X reg Civic Sport, which came with 14" Stock alloys, I replaced those with 17" alloys and low profile tyres.
Now when I have say 1-2 people in the back, the body of the car hits the wheel (can tell by the sound). This is quite annoying, car feels slow, and noise is annoying, I have to extra careful no bumps. (Car not lowered).
What do I need to do to correct this?
[New suspension? Adjustments? Cheapest option with best result if possible.]
Thanks in advance.

at the very least, new shocks in the rear to hold the car up higher. the oems tend to sag alot when they get old. next is roll the fenders so it doesnt rub.
