Hello,
So I put on Enkei RPF1s that are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 +42 all around. And 245/40 & 255/35.
I noticed that I was rubbing when I turn and took off the wheels to use a heat gun and fix the spots that needed it. And I fixed it and everything, but then as I was putting the wheel back on I noticed this.
This is the front passenger

Same side but idk if its rubbing this because it looks too perfect and the other side doesnt have it at all

This is the Front driver side

I put my wheels back on and felt if its touching and its not but my tire is around 1/8" away from it. My tires go past the wheel lip so it sticks out more. My wheel lip is alittle less then 1/2" away.
Is this really bad? and is it fixable? I was thinking about getting 225/35 in the front.

If its not touching then its not rubbing. The arm never gets any closer when driving. Its like one unit with your wheel. Your wheel/tire would have to be wobbling back and fourth for it to rub which would be a sign of bad hub bearings.
