so i recently got 17 inch enkie rims from a friend i have a 98 honda civic on skunk2 lowering springs.....so i went to a tire store and put on some 215/45 lowprofile tires and went to put them on my car....but when i lowered my jack i found out the top of the fender was laying right on top of my tire....couldnt even fit a finger.....so im woundering if there is anyway to make it work for me?!?!? was think of putting slimmer tires like 205's but idk if that would help or what...hes my tire when i lowered the jack the finder is completely on top of the tire

 

Welcome to the forum,other than raising the car back up if you went to a 205x40x14 that would give you 1.1 inches of difference.That is not enough to make a big enough change .Here is a tire size calculator http://www.miata.net/cgi-bin/tirescgi Good luck,Bobby

 

break out a beer coozie and some pliers and start rolling them fenders.. i was in your same boat.. only basically 2 options.. roll the fenders or raise the car up an inch ( if it has adjustable coilovers it will be easy) if not get ready to spend about 400$.. to be honest id go with rolling the fenders.. just pulling them out half an inch (if done right) will give the car a little accent that people will notice but not be able to put their finger on it.
