    Default vu tyres rubbing in corners

    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

    This is a repost as it was originally in general but I guess it belongs here more

    check to make sure your wheel arch liner is in tact and sitting correctly
