Where are they rubbing, against the strut or on the wheelarch?

If its on the wheelarch then you can get the arch rolled, a good bodyshop will do it for feck all. They shouldn't need to break the paint.

If its rubbing on the inside.strut then you have a wheel with too much offset, you'll need new wheels or a set of spacers. Should be cheap enough for the spacers and really common for the civic.

Or invest in some standard suspension! (assuming you have it lowered!)

Whats the overall tyre size? Lower profile size might help, or a smaller offset. As mentioned, try a different suspension setup..

Yeah, a slightly narrower tyre maybe or lower profile.Or flare the arches.Or tell your mates to get a taxi

Stiffen the suspension?

Why not fit the wheels that were originally designed for the car?
