my bro works at tire place and instead of me buying new tires he finds me the best used tires same size and all and gives them to me for free! bonus! anyways, he got me three brand new tires for free and i kept the best used tire on there. their all the same size 205/55/16 but for some reason the used tire rubs the fender well. i have eibach pro kit. why is that? here's the other bad news, all my rims are bent! i knew one was for sure pretty bad. i hit a guard rail a couple years ago, and another one is bent because a friend borrowed my car and curbed it pretty bad. as for the other two i have no idea. what's the cheapest solution for rims? i have a 03 lx/es with the stock 16's. i don't exactly have a lot of money, so i'm just lookin for the cheapest solution so i can save up. i'm guessing just keep lookin for cheap rims that'll fit? which is of the obvious. my main concern though is the tire rubbing, it only rubs when i hit a bump....
