it could be a lot of things...

It could be the size of your tires (too tall or wide)

It could be the width or offset of your wheels. Too high of an offset can lead to rubbing on the inside, especially with wider tires.

Let us know the size of your wheels & tires :thumb:

so when you say edges....
what are you refering to?
Your frame? fenders?
what size wheels do you have?
are you lowered?
how much are you lowered?

Its the rims. Does it only do it when you turn too sharp?

yea wen i do really sharp turns i can hear it scrape

Sounds like a case of rims too big and springs too low. Have you had the car aligned since you set it up that way? I doubt it would help the rubbing much, but maybe. If you did the suspension work and just put those rims and tires on the alignment would be way out. Whether it fixes it ot not, alignments are cheap and usually good for a year. And i always feel so much happier driving afterwards :thumb:

I tried 17s on my car the other day, i hated them. they rubbed, and looked horrible. Get ur fenders rolled or some smaller rims, ull be good.
