Hey are thoes Spec-2 Yoko??
I'm running 215/35/18 and do not have that problem on Yoko shoes.
Have you hit any really bad bumps that could have misaligned your suspension?(p5white)

I'm on Enki-CDR-9 at 40mm. It's a really tight fit. You are likely correct.

i hate to see what the 18's will do, i might not be able to put the teins on it with the 18's.
I have 215/40's on the stock Racing Hearts and not lowered and both front and rear on driver side rub. The front only rubs when the wheel is totally turned and i never hear the rear but there is a clear whole worn through the plastic on the back.
Maybe we just go the weird ones....

TXMazdaSpeeder,
Do you have lowering springs? Are you running the stock MP3 rims? I'm curious because I'm using SPOOL springs with stock rims and was hoping to replace my stock dunlops with 215/45/17s. But if its going to rub, **** that
. I would think it'd be fine. The MSP rims offset is the same, they are a bit lower stock, and they come with 215/45/17 stock!

stock rims, stock suspension. that what i dont get, msp has same suspension and 215's stock.
actually come to think of it the rear is dropped a little because of the subwoofer box, maybe thats enoguh to make it rub.
i also the other nice when i parked on a grassy hill at the mall that that wheel was tucked all the way under the fender.

i looked at it its not hurting anything just rubbing a spot in the inner fender well.
Yeah i drive the s*** outta my car aswell. Like TXMazdaSpeeder said its not hurting anything it just wore a hole throuth the p.o.s. plastic fender-well. Nothing bad at all.... I believe the wear in the back has gone through as much of the fender as it can so it doesn't rub at all anymore. But the front you can hear whenever the wheel is at total lock left but not right, which I found out today. It never rubs at all when i am on mountain runs... also I looked at both rear fender-wells today and compared and as i thought there is less room on the driver's side because the plastic fender-well pertrudes more than on the passenger side which also is a more hard and set plastic where the drivers side is a flimzy piece of plastic
