<DIV v8P6c="8" K_bB9="0">Hey, guys, I have a question. I usually use 205-45-17 tires on wheels. Recently I decided to try 215-45-17. Bad mistake. Now everytime my car goes over bumb or ditch, the right/rear wheel rubs on fender.

Can I raise my car to avoid it? Will coilovers help? Is it a problem with shocks?

Acura rsx coil over suspension kit will help..If a road were perfectly flat, with no irregularities, suspensions
wouldn't be necessary. But roads are far from flat. Even freshly paved
highways have subtle imperfections that can interact with the wheels of
a car..

I had that problem with a Corvair once. I changed from 13 to 14 inch wheels with mud and snow tires. The outer edge of the tires rubbed on the fender.


A large hammer was employed to correct the right and left fender outlines with great success!
