please help....

hey guys i got 16x8 formula wheels for my car and they rub a little in the front at full lock (with one wheel on and the rest stockers) i heard that they all do, but i dont wanna take any chances, do you think i should just put them on and not really worry about it? thanks for the help

Make sure you got the front ones on the front and rear ones on the rear, they do have different backspacing.

Nope, just the 16 inch wheels as far as I know, at least my old SC didnt have different backspacing probably because they are a more narrow rim.

I dont think that would make any difference just be sure you have the 16`s with the smaller backspacing on the front.

maybe your tires are to big, on my old RS one day i noticed that me inner fender well was being rubbed by something, I didn't even know that my tire was rubbing, but it must of only been when the wheels were truned all the way
