Good thread. Thanks for posting. Between this issue and the spiegler lines issue, I am now totally paranoid about wheels clearing all lines and wires! Will now take yet another look behind my wheels to make sure this is not happening.

I just checked my car. 19" 10.5 forgelines with -2.4 R camber no evidence of rubbing. I wonder if Joe's faster driving speed is compressing the rear suspension / wheel travel into that loom area more?

1). -2.7 camber in rear
2). 11 inch rear wheel width and oem offset

My PDI alignment. I don't remember the exact specs since this was about a year ago, but i t was when I was getting my track alignment to move to 19s we noticed this wear. I don't know if this really matters, but my car came with the dunlops and we noticed this after about 5 track days and 3000 miles.

It only took a very minute amount of bending the mounting bracket to get a more clearance, so there may be some variability in the brackets that cause the rubbing? Based on your case, perhaps everyone should double check. Do you recall if it was the passenger or driver side?

I did see the error shortly after putting in the brake caliper and line studs so that may be related. Have only intermittantly gotten that message and haven't taken it to the dealer yet. Anyone else see this?
