#316894 i have a 1994 hatch with 15" 2000 si wheels. i currently have 195/60r15 tires on them. I just lowered it about an inch and a half and when i turn the tires are just barely rubbing the plastic inner fender. If i go to a 195/45r15, will it give me a little bit more gap between the fender?Image[/img]

#316895 195/50/r15 is the correct size for our cars :thumb: 195/45 will be a shorter sidewall. not much rubber between your rim and the road, if you have bad roads you may bend the rims easier.

#316896 how close are you to rubbing on the fender lip? if not close why not rub a 3-5mm spacer up front.

#316897 its only rubbing when i turn completely, i imagine if i hit a bump while turning will be pretty nasty. but typically its not too bad. my roads here are ok though, not too worried about less tire.

i have no idea what a 3-5mm spacer is...lol where does that go?

it increased the offset of your wheels and spaces them outwards to give you a larger gap between the inner sidewall and the inner fender liner.

give you this result

since its rubbing on the outer aswell, you may need to roll the fenders and forget the spacer.

that a local body shop can help with to do it right
