Depends on your drop, the offset of the rim and the rim width. Try not ot run on a rim that is 7.5 or wider or you are going to have some rubbing issues.

When I was running 17's I had 17x7 with 40series and a 3" drop and only at full lock could I get a slight rub... so you should be okay assuming all of this.

You don't know that you will not have any rub... theoretically you should be okay but utill that time... *giggles at Mike's 4x4*

Actually no, I will have no rub

I saw a Civic last night at work and talked to the owner..

It was a black coupe, with Koni Yellows, Nuespeed 1.8" drop and he had 15 in Sub Zeros on it... Decent looking car too!

*looks at his 4x4* ain't my fault that there is a back order on KYB shocks... Hell I been waiting 4 weeks now

Regards,
OK
