It has a plastic cover over a welded (I think) seam. The plastic is already
worn away. The tire hits the metal.

I have Tokico Illumina's. Unfortunately, shocks do not help in this situation.
Cranking them up more in the front simply makes the beast understeer more - not
good in an Integra.

>I DO NOT recommend running 225's on a non Type-R Integra. You can make the
tire rub less on the inner fender by using spacers, but the springs are just
too soft and allow the chassis to dive/lean. I can drive the car hard enough
where the front tires hit a seam at the top of the front inner fender. I
actually have a groove down the middle of the tires.

enough and won't cut your tires any longer. Perfectly legal cuz it's called

(Of course a Dremel tool or a die grinder would greatly speed up the process
also, but you didn't hear that from me. ;^)
Oh yeah, better shocks (if you haven't already replaced them) may also help
to lessen the problem.
See you on course.
