Default Tires Rubbing

<hr style="color:#eeeeee; background-color:#eeeeee" size="1"> Does anyone hear some rubbing when making tight turns at slow speeds?

I park in a garage with epoxy floors and mostly notice when making the turn out sounds like tires are rubbing the inner well!

No noise when wheels are straight.

If the tire(s) are rubbing, inspect the inner wheel well for rub marks. If so, have you altered the front wheels?

My rear tires rubs the body of my car. How can I raise it up to prevent the rubbing?
I bought a rim that is 3" bigger that the factory and now when I carry passengers or small load in the car, my tires rubs. Do I need lowering spring ( I do not want to lower the car for sure), coilover, or shock. Please tell me why you chose your choice. I do not want the factory parts but I don't mind if that is the only choice I have. I would appreciate it if you can help.

The noise only occurs when your taking turns? It could be the CV joint.

Have you tried rolling the fenders? If you roll the lip of the fenders than that usually helps with rubbing.
