normally that tire size combo wouldn't be a problem, but yours must be really slammed

i think the 205/50 tyres are the culprit, im running 15x7, 38 offset P1s and 195/50 tyres and ive got no rubbing probs whatsoever. but i do have about one finger's gap, so im not slammed.

I ran into the same problem with my 205/50's.
You could try a 195/50 tire. That would strech it a little and give you a more rounded edge on the tire.

^sup bandrew!
yeah and bear in mind with a 205/50 tyre, you're not only getting a wider tyre, but one with a taller sidewall as well.

205/50 is a much more common tire size as integra and EK civics run this size stock.
Older civics run 195/50/15 as close to original diameter.
I have rubbing issues with 205/50/15 on the inner chassis. I just let it rub and it eventually turned into a polished chassis at the area.

Integras or Ek model civics never came with 205/50R15s. The cars that came with 15s came with 195/55R15s.
