Angry Rim Fitting Problems!!

i have a 2001 prelude

i bought GUNMETAL ZEO BZ-12 18IN 42mm offset

ideal offset for my car is 45mm

i put em on and the back rubbed under hard turning...then i put a camber kit on and now the front rubs over every little pebble...

WHAT SHOULD I DO???

ADJUST THE CAMBER SO THEY FIT...(burn my tires quicker)

i tried selling them but nowone wanted em

please help...i had em on for a week and payed $2800 Canadian

WHAT A WASTE!!!!

anyone that lives in ONTARIO or QUEBEC interested in buying em???

What tires are supposed to be on there? Recommended size and your actually size?

You could add more negative camber, but just make sure your alignment is 0 toe front and rear. That will prevent tire wear more than camber.

In the rear you can get lower control arms that will bring the wheel in on the bottom. My local shop sold them to me by mistake. That will solve the rear. As for the front you will have to look into that. You may have a hard time finding them for a prelude though. You could call www.spcperformance.com and see if they have or can make them for you.
