my b13 is lowered, i have these 16" bbs rims with the low profile tires. the thing is that everytime i make a left or right turn while there's a passenger in the back seat it makes this annoying rubbing noise. my mechanic says it could be the tires rubbing on the struts since he sees tire marks on the struts. so i was wondering if you guys know what i could do to not have that whether it's to get higher struts or sumptin.

you need to get different springs if that is happening. You can use adjustable struts but the springs are cheaper. Just get a decent brand spring that lowers 1.5" or less. 2.0" drop is about the max for these with out other modifications to suspension or car.

What size tires? what kind of tires? What spring/strut combo? What offset wheel?
