Default 22" wheel eatting inside of front tires

Hi I have 22" wheels and on the front tires its wearing really bad on the inside. my question is is it caused from where its rubbing on the frame cause I dont see where else it could be doing it. Any help would be great Thanks!

What size tires are you running if they are stretched then the inside of the tire is what you are riding on

my rims are 22x8 ..thats maybe why im not rubbing in the front...when i was shoppin for rims, my boi told me the 22x8 1/2 was just a lil bit too wide, if i didnt want to do any modification!! so i went wit the 22x8 and a 235/30..SLIGHT rub on plastic in front on sharp turns,other then that no rub at all..even with three people in the back over humps and everything no rub!!

what tire sizes are you running and with the right offset you should have no issue running a 22x9 in the front

Im running a 245 30 22 in the front but the inner side of the tire rubs the frame on hard turns which is eatting the inner side of the tire
