skunk2 springs? that looks way to low. Its either on coils and you need to lift it, or buy some different springs because those are cut.

Tires are a little too big for a honda thats lowered... Most people have 195 45 15 or 195 50 15s

Try rolling your fenders with a fender roller or just jack your car up and put a baseball bat or some sorda pipe between the tire and lower the car back down and roll the bat around to flare them out some more.

But leave it that low, it looks good... So either get smaller tires or start the rolling.

This is skunk2 springs on 205/55/15s on 2 different rims and offsets and neither are as low as you. I didn't come with those statements for no reason.

I would worry about those eBay rotors cracking rather then worry about tire rubbing.
