I just finished the z32 brake conversion with 5 lug and installed the stock s14 wheels with 225/50/16 tires. Currently the passenger side front there is no rubbing everything is great and no problems. On the Driver side front the tire is rubbing against the strut assembly. When i took off the old s13 wheels there was significant wear on both the inside of the tires. But the strange part is the one side is ok and the other isn't? Could it be alignment issues with camber or might there be suspension parts bent? The rubbing is noticeable at 20~30mph you will smell the tires cooking and feels pretty damn hot. To my knowledge no accidents can be seen or reported. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance~

Could be a good time to check your control arms and replace them piece by piece. It's good to do anyway since the bushings and such are so old. Although expensive, it's cheaper than wrecking your car if you blow a tire at 60-70mph. Especially the front. It's tough to find a bend mainly because something thats off by a hair say on the bottem control arm can have a significant impact on alignment above it. Either way, I'd take the control arms off on that side and inspect them one by one.
