WHY AM I RUBBING ON 225/45/18 on Stock Susp?
I have an AWD IS250 and recently upgraded from my 17's to a set of 18's. I kept the recomended tire size with 225/45/18 all around with no drop (*YET
) but when i make sharp turns i hear my wheel rub in the front driver side. Its a light rub but it concerns me because i was going to drop it withing the next couple of weeks 1.4 inches. Any one have insight as to why this could possibly be hapening?

So is it safe to say that i will be rubbing hard when and if i drop the car?

im guessing the wheel rubs somewhere along the upper inner rear because it happens predominantly when i turn left and judging by my wheel gaps it wont rub up top unless a fat chick sits on my hood.

Yeaah that blows. I want to explore all pther alternatives before conceeding defeat and buying new tires. Spacers? Wheel well rolling? Ect. I was so amped to drop the car too! May just have to take on a few other projects or the time being while i run through these tires.
