I've noticed the left rear tire rubbing the fender on occasion.
The right has a little more than 1/2 inch of room. The left has less than 1/4 inch. Is this difference normal? Or an indication of a problem I should be looking into. 195x50 tires. No spacers. The car seems to sit level. Wheels are cambered and toed the same. |

I'm running wide 205's all they way around with no rubbing, and both sides within a 1/8" of each other. The strut mount welded in makes me wonder on the short side what happened, and if the lower part of the strut that holds the spring in to the strut is not set right, you will have that as well. I would pull the strut on that side and check it out, only takes 10 minutes to get it out. I had one side come apart on me on the FWY, fixed it at lunch in the parking lot.
