im glad you got new lugs. stock lugs on aftermarket wheels are an easy way to strip the paint right off the holes.

Have you done an alignment?
If nobody touched anything since we did the springs, we can loosen the two strut to hub bolts and push the assembly a bit in. Remember what I mentioned on Sunday? That can buy you 5-7mm clearance from what you have now. It just might do the trick. Even without alignment pivoting bolts there is a slight play to the OEM bolts in the assembly to allow for a small adjustment. Hub is so heavy and just pulls it into positive camber a bit.
Looks like it will rain until Monday! I can't move the CRX out of the garage, so we have to do it in front of it. LOL!
It will take 15 minutes to get it done!

Yeah i havent got alignment so we should be able to do that.
I think it will do the trick cause im barely rubbing. I havent taken the car on the freeway yet but i imagine that being pretty bad, because of all the bumps at speed.
Anytime your open im good, Saturday or sunday.
Thanks Ivan.

NICE!!!!! They look damn good Tyler.
Dont change the tires. The stance and profile looks great with the style of the wheels. Why get a smaller tire and risk wheel gap?

If its only rubbed once or twice Id either live with it or do the fender lining mod as some suggested.
Doesnt cost anything, doesnt change the looks, and doesnt mess with the alignment.

Overall, it does look awesome. BTW, what lugs? Did you go with the ones you were talking about or.... is that them?

Yeah im really happy with it, looks really sick.
Well i was going to get red lugs(prolly still am)but when i got there the dude said the stock lugs were not fitting and i HAD to buy new ones. So i bought a set for 45$ and they are locking. It will hold me over till i get red ones.
Im going to meet with Ciburri soon to fix the rubbing, its not bad though.

Ohh and thanks Ray for talking me into finally acually getting wheels, if you wouldnt of done that i would still wondering what wheels to get haha

No problems dude. Im proud of you man.... *crys* Hahaha!
Id really suggest the fender lining mod. I wouldnt do camber adjustments. When you mess with the camber on the Fit the toe gets screwed up.

Take some corners kinda hard. From the pics it seems like the front would rub more than the rear. Itll rub on the push clip right by the top of the tire.
What was in the back, if you dont mind me asking? Was it heavy.....

My stock wheels were in the back. But i could tell the rubbing was coming from the front forsure. I was kinda cornering hard but my mom was in the car and it was raining lol. A bad combo.
