Tire rub on wheel well

alex_327 · Oct 3, 2015

Recently lowered my car on function form type 1, now my front left tire rubs on the wheel well. It only rubs on the driver side, took it and got an alignment nothing changed. It rubbed one tire down to the wires and going through the second one now. Any suggestions on what it could be.

There is a lip on the inside of the fenders. Make sure you "roll" it. You may also want to consider pulling them.

Sounds like you may have a difference in height or camber between the two sides. Running stretched tires would be your next step after a roll/pull.

Just realized you're talking about the wheel well. When do you hear it rubbing? Turning or while hitting bumps?

What's it hitting?

It should be rubbed clean, all shiney. From loosing rust/paint to the tire.

Its rubbing in the back against the inner wheel well, where the splash guard is but it went through the splash guard and is now taking the paint off. Ill take the wheel off and post a picture
