Simple scenario...05 Civic Coupe with 215/45/17's with stock springs and struts. Is there anyway possible this setup can rub? I'm curious because I occasionally hear sounds whenever go hard to the right or left (not always though). Thanks.

i've got 225/40/18 tires + 1" drop. wheel turns all the way and doesnt rub. Just the top border of the fender scrapes with the tire sometimes when there's a dip or bump in the road

Havent had an alignment done yet, the car is slightly pulling to the right. Waiting to get the coilovers on before i do it, no sense doing it twice.

I have Eibach sportline springs and 215/45/17 and they rub in a few different spots. They rub both sides on the sub frame when you turn and one side even rubs on the strut. I am planning on gettings 215/40's instead. I was suprised too because my car is only lowered about 1.2 inches.
