Tire rub with 16's?

[memphis_raines]

I have the Eibach Pro-kits (1.25" drop) and the stock size 235/55/16 tires, and I noticed a place on the inside of the driver's side fender in front of the tire where it's been rubbing.
But it appears this only happens when the wheel turns to the right, toward the middle of the car. Anyone have an idea what's going on or how to fix it?

Get smaller profile tires is the easiest solution. Chances are, they are too tall, either that or you need your alignment checked. Does the other side do it at all?

I never rubbed with my 285/40/17's, 275/40/18, my 26x11.50/16 slicks or the stock 235/55/16 tires, mine is dropped 2''s

Did you replace your shocks when you installed the springs? If not... you need to.

Ross answered that question perfectly for you. It's most likely your stock shocks if they're still in.

The stock shocks were replaced with Bilsteins when the springs were installed, and it's only happening on the driver's side.

Can you hear it rubbing when you turn right or are you just seeing marks on the inside of the fender well?

[memphis_raines]

I never heard it, I just noticed it one day when I left the wheels turned to the right and it looked like the tire was touching the fender in front of it. Then I straightened the wheels out and saw the rub mark.

hmm.. my car did that, or came pretty close to rubbing (I think I remember seeing marks from a little rubbing), with 17s before I lowered it even. Its weird that it is only on the drivers side.

Is the car out of alignment perhaps?

[memphis_raines]

Shouldn't be, but I guess it's possible. All 4 wheels were aligned right after the shock/ spring install.
