Just got new tires and they rub... Need some advise!
 

So i just got back from Firestone and I got a set of new tires. I believe that they are 215/45/17's. Anyway, they rub when i make a COMPLETE turn and when I drive and hit a slight dip in the road. i would just like some suggestions on what to do... Should i just go back to 205/40/17's, or can I take the wheel well cover off? I really appreciate it y'all....





......Oh, and i'm riding on the stock suspension also

do you guys have an idea of how much it would run in price?

if u get lowering springs u won't rub when hitting bumps because the lowering springs won't travel as much...

This is what my friend did to his car whenhis wheels hit after a dip:
He dentedtheinside,and around,ofwhere the wheel rubs Just enoughso the
wheel doesn't rub anymore. Idk what tools he used but im guessing
a hammer might be useful. However, he had like 24'...haha

It still rubs when i make a full turn though (i.e. a U-turn)

i can't believe that...it might be that since there new and have all that meat on them they are barely catchin...I would try the hammer idea should be easy to see where it rubs you'll see a differance on the metal...

I only had problems with 19's when i do a u turn it rubs but i never got the hammer out..

why?!?!

take them back, they sold you tires that are too big. The overall diameter is larger by more than an inch!
