    what size tyres have you got on there? if they are the original VE tyres, then that is more than likely going to be the cause of the rubbing

    How about full lock left??? I presume it's the front that rubs? If it is only happening one way then something in the front of your car is out of whack. Correct that problem and you will be a long way there.

    proper tyre size for 18" wheels on VR/VS is 235/40/18....the 245/45 is too high and wide so would more than likely be the source of the rubbing

    1st step would be to get a wheel alignment to make sure everything is tracking properly. Explain that 1 side rubs to the operator.

    Impossible to say until we work out if your wheels are in the right spot. I'd be leaning towards no.
