tein basic damper kit- front fender rubbing. help?

ok so, i installed the tein basic damper kit today and the stance of my fit is awesome but when i take a turn, my front tires rubs on my inner fender badly. i have 15 inch rota black slipline rims on it. i also have a pair of roll center adjusters from j's racing i havent installed yet. will those help? is there any way i can adjust the height in the front? or do i need to get a smaller tire? my old slammed chevy s10 would rub everywhere and i still have nightmares about it. i need sugestions!!

If you've got the tein basic dampers, you are able to adjust the ride height.

As for the rubbing, are you sure you have the right offset for your car? You should check that first. A little more details would help us help you.

i got the front all set up now. minimal rubbing. i just need a thinner tire now and it will be all good BUT...... nightmare, i totally put a little rip in the boot of my drivers side driveshaft. grease everywhere and honda doesnt sell just the boot so i have to buy a whole new driveshaft assembly which is $650!! also after i put in the j"s racing roll center adjusters i hear a knocking in the front drivers side front strut when i hit a big bump. im gonna torque everything down tonite and see if that knocking goes away. but other than all the problems my fit is on f*cking rails!!!!!!!!
