I have SS wheels on my car. I have 255'2 on the front wheels which make it only like an 1/8" wider than my stock wheels. I have had them since June and every once in a while while backing into my drive way , which is on a huge slope,with the wheels fully turned, I would get some minor rubbing in the wheel well. Then all of a sudden a week and a half ago It staretd to rub really bad. It tore out that plastic liner piece in the wheel well and is now rubbing the front ground effect. It happens on both sides of the car. The only thing that I can possibly think of is last week I greased the front end but I dont know if that really has anything to do with it. What would cause the wheels to just all of a sudden start rubbing really bad?

If it makes you feel better, I have those rub marks (and a torn up inner fender) on my wheel well. I have 15x7 wheels, and have had both P215/65r15 tires and P225/60r15 tires on there.

Did you lower your car??

The only thing I could think of, is that maybe a spring has warped!

I just doesn't make any sense to just start rubbing this severe. My old stock wheels even rubbed a little and my ss wheels have been on since june and barley rubbed. but like I said It just got suddenly bad a week ago. Its pissing me off.
