>I DO NOT recommend running 225's on a non Type-R Integra. You can make the
tire rub less on the inner fender by using spacers, but the springs are just
too soft and allow the chassis to dive/lean. I can drive the car hard enough
where the front tires hit a seam at the top of the front inner fender. I
actually have a groove down the middle of the tires.

=============================
Or...........Sooner or later with all that rubbing the seam will wear down
enough and won't cut your tires any longer.  Perfectly legal cuz it's called
normal wear and tear.  ;^)

(Of course a Dremel tool or a die grinder would greatly speed up the process
also, but you didn't hear that from me.  ;^)

Oh yeah, better shocks (if you haven't already replaced them) may also help
to lessen the problem.

See you on course.
