how to run 225/50/16 on 16x7 rims without scrubbing!

as the title states i wanna run those spec tyres on my rims and still be able to lower the car and not have them rub on the inner shell of my car!
im currently sitting at 17cms to the ground and front tyres scrubb at full lock.
forgot to mention the car is a dc4 and running coilover sleeves with standard camber arms! the rim spec is 16x7 +38 and tyre spec is 225/50/16 kumho ku36's

My Integra scrubs at full lock, inside tire on wheel well. with 205/45/16 lowered. its +42 as well.

so yeah, good luck

You might not have problem with the inside but your outside is a worry on the guards.

well when i had 205/45/16's i didnt scrub at all and my teg was under 10cms to the ground!

but now its like this!

btw my tyres atm stick 2mm out front the guard and was hoping to fix it with natural camber...but yess i got the camber but the inside scrubbed real bad!
my rears are no problem at all as i have natural camber at current height...looks nice.
i think i might put on 2 of the 205/45/16's and buy another 2 and sell off the ku36's.

you may not hear it. but look under the guards, you will see rubbing marks.

I had cusco zero2 with 8f 6r. maybe my spring rates were soft.

225/50 is abit too big

Maybe if you roll the guards all the way and add a bit of camber and stiffness.

my probs not the guards....plus i can roll them but its the tyres hitting the inner shell.

and yehh from my 205/45's there was minimal scrubbing from whenever i went around a corner.....had! i hard very stiff springs at the front and mid stiffness rears. but the 225/50 just scrub all the time....really annoying tbh! oh and i have coilover sleeves on my kyb excel-g gas struts.
i might be about to get a little more camber from my front tower strut brace but yehh but the inner tops of the tyres hit the shell....very annoying!

i had this problem, with my rim rubbing on my coilovers due to the offset being too high (+65)

spacers + camber + guard roll is how i fixed mine sorta... haha still scrubs if the coilover compresses too much, needs bigger spacer
