Tire rubbing... what should I do?
I bought a used 2002 Lancer ES a while ago. Came with nice tires and rims. The only thing is that they rub with too much weight in the back (two passengers) or I make fast turns. Currently the lancer has Falken Ziex ZE 326 225/40zr18.
Now my question is, what can I do about this? Can i put narrower tires on? or should i just wait to replace tires and rims.
Not sure what kind of rims they are(sorry newb to all this)...
thanx in advance.

According to Tire Rack, anything wider than 205 series will rub, hence why your 225s are rubbing. I think 215 will work most of the time, but if your going to drive agressively, 205 is the widest you should go. I run 205-45-17's on my car, and I have no rub issues, even during autocross. (thats with Eibach springs too....)

Now if I were to get 215/35/18's would i have to change wheels?
I believe i have some sort of Advanti Racing ones....not sure what kind or anything. Is there any way I can find out the exact size of my wheel?
thanx

Can i fit other size tires on my 18" rims. Like changing the width from 225 to 215 and less profile like to 35 from 40. If so can i change this without changing the 18"rims... thanks

gabdala, check the sticky at the top of this forum (US Lancer tires, wheels, brakes and suspension), titled everything you need to know about rims and tires. It gives you a whole list of tire sizes for any size rims, as well as a tutorial on what all those numbers mean.
