Ok, so i just lowered my car a decent amount, and when i do a fast right turn, the left wheel rubs against, im guessing, the wheel well. So iono what i should do, should i raise my car? or could i in any way modify the wheel well in any way?
help would be appreciated. i tried searching, but couldnt find anything.
Im running 215/45/17s all across.
and there is about an inch gap from the fender to the top of the tire. thanks.. i need help!!!

It might not the fender lips he's rubbing against, its might be the frame. There is a big metal tab you need to hammer down, it rubs against the top of the tire. At least, that was my problem.

yeah i hope that will work. because im not sure if it hits the top. nothing happens when i turn left or drive straight or even slow right turns. so i guess ill try removing the fender lining and see what happens and hammer the metal tab.

Yeah, that was the same exact thing that happened to me. It would only be fast right turns.

hammer+ metal parts that are in the way+ elbow greece= solution to problem.
I may not own a 240, but I have plenty of tire rubbing experience ;)
