94 civic coupe rims rubbing

[civicSIcoupe]

alright, so when i do a sharp turn in my 94 civic si coupe i hear this rubbing noise, so i popped off the rims and there was some rub marks on the inner wheel well kinda behind the calipers. the rub spots are about an inch wide, and maybe 2 inches tall, not very deep. so, i was wondering what can be done about this?

 

[pls]

maybe its your tire size?? its too wide?

if its rubbing on the fender liners, remove the fender liners

or figure out how far you can turn your wheel without rubbing and only turn it just short of that.

Is your car lowered?

 

[civicSIcoupe]

no its not lowered at all, i was going to lower it until this problem came to my attention

 

[ej1boy95]

your tires are either to big or too wide. if your on stock height and u have this problem, i wouldnt lower it.

 

[civicSIcoupe]

no im not going to lower it now, im going to keep it on stock height, bit u was wondering if i could either cut the parts where it rubs out, or bend them in a way where they dont rub anymore?

Rims too big foo

thats what i was thinking, because they came with the car when i bought it, so should i just try and sell the ones i have and buy some 16s?

That would work the best unless you like the rims on it.

how much do you think i could sell my rims for? their konig 17" rims, back tires (yokohama) need to be replaced, fronts are like-new nexen n3000's or something, both extra load tires.
