Just got wheels installed today. Axis Matrix 19x8.5 front and 19x9 rear. Noticed rubbing on front right wheel making a full right turn only. Anybody experiencing this? I'm not even lowered yet. Plan to drop it with eibach pro kit but worried if it is gonna rub some more.

The heat gun is used to push the inner fender liner. You need to physically relocate the front bumper tab if your tires are rubbing against it.

You are probably hitting/ rubbing against the front bumper tab. Try typing "front bumper tab" on the search bar and you'll find several threads about this. A few even has DIY pics.

I dot think its the tab because when I got my wheels I was hiring the inner fender liner it wasn't until I dropped it that it hit the tabs. What I suggest you do it turn the steering wheel on park and check until it rubs on something
