hi,
I recently bought rims for my 96 honda civic si. My wheels were 185/60/14 and the new rims and tires that I got are 215/50/16. They fit on the car nice but stick a little too far out. So when I load up my car and go over bumps it rubs. Does anyone have any solutions for me? I checked on the net and I think that the problem is that my offset is 0 on the new rims and I need one with an offset of -50. Is this right? Is there anything I can do like stiffen the suspension to make it work?

Thanks

yeah, 215s are a little wide for the civic. You can remove the fenderwells and so some other things if you're really against changing tires, but I'm not sure how easy that'd be.

Try rolling ur rear fenders in (easy) it might help ya
