Prevent Rubbing on 22's
Is there a simple, inexpensive, right now fix to stop the rubbing on the rear tires? I'm running 265/30/22 tires and get tire scraping on dips and some turns with a half tank of gas and two small passengers.

I'm running 295/25's in the rear and have/had the same problem. It use to rub really sometimes with a full car or hard dips. Since I was really lazy to attempt to do anything about it I just ignored it and it eventually punched in the location getting rid of the rub 90%. I don't have problems rubbing with a full car or hard dips anymore, BUT when doing some really, and I mean really, hard turns it does rub. Although, I am not sure whether it's the inner or outer fender that is rubbing when I do that. (most likely inner)
But yeah, I guess my advice to you is to go out with a car full of people and hit some heavy dips!!
LOL jk jk... maybe try to lift the car, take off the wheels, and go at it with a mallet? Something along the lines of that

I'm running the same size tires front an rear 265/30/22 and the rubbing is in the rear only. Was driving today and noticed that a string of rubber was flapping from the outside of tire. Seems to be rubbing on a small rubber piece under the wheel well on the outside.
How long does it normally take for the springs to "settle in"? Does that mean they stiffin

What are your wheel specs, offsets and all? Also, are you lowered? If so, with what and how much?
You most likely have a bit more aggressive offsets than are safe to run the our cars. If it's been shredding the tire like that I would personally try to resolve the issue ASAP or go back to stock before you pop a tire unwillingly. Iv'e shredded many tires in my past and I can't stress enough how dangerous it is when a tire goes out. You should be able to see where the tire has been hitting since you've been rubbing quite a lot apparently. Most likely you will be able to resolve it with either shaving or rolling your fenders. Post a pic of where it is rubbing if you can. The reason I say that because if you wheels and tires are poking out it is going to require a lot of effort to make it work.

To me it definitely sounds like an offset issuse,I say this becuause I'm running 10.5'wheel witb 265/30/22 on the rear of my 460 with an pretty aggressive offset & I knew before hand & by eyeballing it that the rears are gonna need a roll or shave..
O.P. just roll the fenders,you should be good..

thanks all ... I'm going to search information on "rolling and shaving the rears" ... hopefully I can make it happen in the near future because there's nothing worse than driving an expensive car with tires that scrape when you have guests in the car who wouldn't understand.

oooooh yeahh... my guest understand!!!! but honestly the 460 suspension is soft too much people in the rears will cause you to rub unless you get the fenders rolled or shaved, plus when you hit certain dips it will rub on the insulation, but that is better than the lip, recommend getting the fenders rolled it will get you about a 1/2 inch if you are wider than that you gonna need a some work (roll and a pull)......
