- Mon Oct 11, 2010 4:27 am #217830 Again pictures are way more helpful. It sounds like your wheels have the wrong offset for the width. Being low with a 7 inch wheel on a high offset puts the tire to close to metal lip on the fender. You can either change wheels, go with 195/40-45 tires or add more negative camber.

- Mon Oct 11, 2010 5:25 pm #217891 also man check and see if that fender is rolled, there is a possibilty that maybe the one fender is smooshed in a little bit and the tire isnt rubbing it but the other fender could be orignial and the tire is hitting the tabs where the innner fender mounted too
