View Full Version : Wheel problems, scraping, right protruding more than left

Basically on the front right side of my car the inner rim is scraping against something when i make a left turn over a bump. I took off my wheel and pounded the pesky lip that usually causes this down but it is still scraping metal somewhere at medium to high speed. Also, Ive noticed that the front left tire is tucked in more than the right but it doesn't rub at all. I will post pictures asap but damn this is baffling any suggestions.

when was the last time you did a alignment?
are you on coilovers or anything?

On coilovers, megans. I haven't done an alignment since i bought the car (which was last week) The previous owner probably didn't do one either.
Update: After some investigative work I found out that not only was the rim hitting the piece of metal in the wheel well, but it is also rubbing against the spring of my coilover.
Im thinking my wheels are just a little too wide. Smaller wheels might be the solution but im going to start with a spacer. The difference in where the front wheels sit respectively in the wheel well is still baffling. Why would my front left wheel be tucked in more even though it has a spacer and the front right dosnt?

Kinda have the same issue, my passenger front tire has positive camber while all my other tires have negative... I'm running kyb agx suspension with stock springs in the back and aftermarket in the front.
I just got an alignment but it still pulls to the right- any suggestions?
