My front tires are rubbing :(

Spencer- mine has done that since the accident, I don't know why. There is no evidence that the tires are rubbing on the fender and I don't have the plastic liners in. If I could find any marks on the fender or grooves on the shoulders of the tires it would help diagnose, but no dice. I almost started thinking it was a strut issue (it only happens when they are close to bottoming out)- like maybe they were damaged from the front of the car going airborne.

thats the thing, my wheels dont stick out at all
the fronts are 7's and they come out right to the edge of the fender and it looks really nice. the backs are 8's and still have maybe an inch to go before filling in that area.
ive never had this problem before so im 99% sure its the tires...maybe they're just too tall.

Of course, I can't remember the site. Google something like Tire Specifications or Tire Sizes or something like that.

yea the 225/60s are 1.2 cm taller than 215/60s..that's more than enough to stop rubbing. if i got a 225/50 it would drop the diameter over an inch...speedo would read fast but whatever.

Hey Spencer where did you get your tires from? There are tire stores out there that have a Customer Satisfaction policy where they can swap the tires for you if you're dissatisfied with them at either no charge or a small additional fee.
I had Fuzion ZRis on my 944 at a 205/50/15 size and I hated them. For $60 more they put Bridgestone Potenza G009s on it with Road Hazard.

I've had very good luck with costco. I lost a rear tire (265/35/18) and they couldn't get another one. They told me to buy one somewhere else, bring the bad tire back, and they'd give me a cash refund for tread life. They did, it was over $100.
Not exactly what you are dealing with, but may be worth a try.
