Should It Scrub

[Civic Jim]

I Know thi shas been asked loadsa times but i will ask anyway.

The other night i was driving with two mates in the car(one sat in front, the other in the back left), I went round a right hander quite fast and then to my amazement the left rear tyre scrubbed on the arch!!!, the tyres ar ethe standard 175/**/13 so they shouldnt scrub should they?

Another thing is I want to get a set of 17" rims for it soon and lower it 35mm, obviously I dont want em to scrub, does anyone have a tyre and suspension setup the same and has not had to have the arches cut to fit em ?,

Cheerz

Roll your rear fenders. I've had the same problem before, so I just rolled mine and haven't had a problem since.

ah right, seems a bit drastic taking a bat to it, do u think cutting the lip and then putting underseal on them would be ok?

hmmm...maybe you need a new suspension then. how many miles does the new ride have on it?

cutting the fender lip out works the same as rolling the fender. just make sure that you never put tires on that are wider than the fenders or your cut fenders will act as a tire gillotine and well, bye bye tire.

stock size you shouldnt have to roll your fender. im thinking its the suspension.
