tire rub, new shocks

[MK3Jay]

Ok so now I've got a huge tire tub on my left front. Just installed illumni tems compatible shocks and HR springs, which do lower the car. Hit up the canyons, right from takes the turns normal left front gets huge rub. Would I need to change the tire siz? I do weigh heavy at 220 could it be my size lol. Shocks springs? I can't think that it's that if the right front is ok so im assuming my tire. Any thoughts?

What wheel/tire combo? Where is it actually rubbing? Did you get it aligned after the install?

Like poodles asked what wheel and tires are you running? This will help us help you.

So I went cheap with some hankook radial tires. (my tires were all at the wire, saving for continental tires) 225/50 R16 92V. Same on both sides rubbing right at the top on the left side only. Like when I make a sharp right and the body goes down they touch. This even the right tire combo? About to get a wheel alignment, ill keep you updated.

Stock wheels, guy said he could align a lowered car -.- ya ima have to find some other place aha but ya the left tire like melted or flattned/polished the underside on where it sits.

Is the fender liners missing some screws and dropping down more on the side that it rubs?

What offsets are your wheels? If they are stock, you really shouldn't rub... correct tire size, you got that correct.

Try setting your shocks to a stiffer setting...

that sheet metal under the bumper was loose, not anymore though, but right above the tire well let's just say that sheet metal is already peeling off...

 

[MK3Jay]

They are stock n ya was thinking that, still don't get why only on one side though.

sheet metal, you mean the plastic splash panels?
