put the wider tires in the front, a front drive car would handle better that way anyway.

what size tires do you have (front and back) and what size/width/offset are your rims? and are you sure it's rubbing on the OUTSIDE?

alright the only way the back tire would be rubbing is if your rims are the wrong offset

well it wouldn't have been a problem until you lowered it.

you don't know the offset of your rims, do you??

well . . . the overall diameter of your tire/wheel combo is barely larger than mine (by 0.19") and as far as section width your tires almost too narrow (I would have put a 215 on there) so that's not it. I have 205/45/16 on 16x6.5 w/ 45mm offset, and my car is dropped WAY more than yours. It does not rub in the back, and the fronts only rub on the inside at full lock
