New Drop = Wheel Rub

[imported_knowles101]

ok Im getting ready to drop my 92 civic hb

I have the following
tokico Illumina shocks
H&R race springs 2.5"front and 2.25" back
Skunk2 camber kit

Now I want to get rims.....Im looking at getting 16x7rims with 42mm offset.

now the big question....WILL THERE BE WHEEL RUB???

with 16's you should be ok, might be pushin it, but i think you'll be ok. i have 17's and my car is friggin slammed, the only rubbin i get is in the front, when i take really sharp u-turns.

I have 17x7's with Eibach sportsline 1.9" drop all alround and i rub on when i take turns hard and the weight shifts to the front coners. I took a dremel to the driver side wheel well and fixxed the problem on that side now i just have to do the pass side. With a 2.5" drop on 16x7 I'm thinking you will rub on turns also.

With that kind of offset, you will probably rub if you have the rear camber corrected. You can either roll the fenders or run shorter lower control arms to bring in the rear wheels some.

i have no wheel rub whatsoever i also dont have any fender liners lol

Would 15" tires with the same offset be better?
