    Default vu suspension, rubbing

    My car has developed a habit of rubbing while corning at moderate speeds. I have kings super low and Monroe reflex short shocks. And stock 17 rims and 225/ 55 r16 tyres. It doesn't have to be at full lock the rub but speed definitely makes differences.
    From my best knowledge the front is rubbing the inside of the guard
    Are my tyres to big? It can't be the ride height because its nowhere near as low as some of your cars out there

    Any ideas

    You mean 225/55R17 not 16 right?

    If they're 17's they sound like the profile is too big. (but I could be wrong!)

    hey mate check into your castor bar bushes, maybe theyve let go allowing your wheel to move back and forth hense rubbing on the guards, easily fixed with a wheel alignment may have to much positive camber making the wheel sit out rubbing on the outter edge of the guard also. ? Personally i would do the wheel alignment 1st and check the bushes while on the aligner and then take it from there mate...couldnt be to severe.... 225/55/17 tyres are a little big but still are factory on most vz commodores
