Just a thought about your 5TH GEN ;) :lol: rubbing issues. Is there evidence on the tyres or arches that it is actually rubbing :?: because a rubbing sound while going round corners is a sign of the wheel bearings being on their way out :think:

So you have the 97-01 Honda prelude. Aka 5th gen.........aka.....where this jobby is at............

But your 18s are causing the problems. By all means keep them on but go for a 40 profile tyre should improve the situation.

I've only just changed my tyres. Not even a month ago.
