Is your car llowered??? And what civic is it???
I'm running 16s on 195 45s and my car is lowered and I have no issues

The more info you give the better/more response and help you will receive
 
I hav an 99 em1 . 60mm lowering springs and stock shocks thats it. I had 16 by 6.5s on it nd there was no rubbing. Could i get the archs flared easy enough or is it a big job ??
 
Its the offset of the wheels thats making them rub, by the picture they look to be a low offset. Camber arms to pull them in or roll arches.
 
Do you Think i should roll them myself or get some1 thats does it , just in case i make balls of it. I am handy with my car but iv never done any body work before
 
Lower it more and some camber adjusters to get the wheels tucked in more and your sorted! Or you can roll your arches which I personally am not a fan of depending on the condition of the car.
 
I dont now the offset. 15 inch by 7 inch thats all i now. I was going to make a cut every 2 inchs on the inside of the arch and fold them up that might solve the problem but im afraid it might increse the chance if rust on the panels

it will guarantee rust, not increase it. dont even thing rolling the arches would be enough as there is alot of poke there...
 
Don't cut within 6 months the arches will be rotting..buy some camber adjusters and you can pull the wheel in a wee bit
 
TBh mate i think your best bet is removing them from the Car. Checking the offset ( plenty of info on google to see where to check this )

And then simply speak to ROTA them selves and ask what offset you should use for your car.

It will be far easier to sell these wheels on and buy the correct offset. Rota wheels sell very fast and i don't think you'll have a problem finding another set.

Just thinking it is better to change the cause of the problem than to change everything else around it to work around the problem itself. Cheaper and faster in the long run also.

are you wanting to go for the "HELLAFLUSH" look or to get these wheels to actually fit properly. ?



OOOOOOOOOOOSCH
 
Spent a fortune on wheels nd tyres 900e il lose out on to much money. Tink il get some1 to roll the archs nd do a proper job or get the camber arms
 
If your keeping the wheels my suggestions are
Increase camber
Then role arches
If that doesn't completely solve it the only pother option is to fit Coilovers with less travel so they simply cannot travel into the arches.

but you are happy to spend money on pointless arch rolling and camber arms which will leave you with a "Hellaflush" stanced Civic that handles poorly with the crazy amount of camber needed to get these to fit.... Instead of just getting the correct fitting wheels.

Maybe you should have done some more research before you spent 900euros on rota's :wow:

I give up. Hope it works out for you in the end dude :nice:
