When does it happen? turning? when the suspension compresses? Are you fenders absolutely untouched or did you roll and relocate tabs?
it actually just happens while driving/rolling straight. it is not very noticable unless i am driving slow and i am listening for it with the top up.. i was thinking also it might be the tires, they are pretty warn out and bald int he rear and the fronts are pretty gone as well. i have tires waiting to be installed, just kind of hoping it is just the tires. also the wheel size is 17x9 +55 offset all around. stock suspension.

also front and rear fenders are rolled, and i believe the tabs in the rear are relocated as well.

thank you again for the replies.
Its most likely just NVH that the worn tire is producing. You can always look at your tire to see if its rubbed anything (it will be a darker and much shiner shade of black)

Also when you start driving the car hard you will probably rub the inside of your fender well as Im not sure a +55 is low enough for a 17x9.5 to keep it from contacting. It should have the same clearance on the inside as a 17x9 +62 and that rubs under hard cornering. Although the tire will be ever so slightly stretched which could help it clear more.

It's actually a 17x9 +55 offset with 255/40 tires. So I am thinking it is just the tires.. More like hoping

Wait... I thought this whole thread was about a 17x9.5? Did they turn out to be 17x9?

If your fenders are rolled you shouldn't have rubbing anywhere then. It has to be your tires being loud, if it weren't then you would know (you would have lots of melted rubber built up where it was rubbing)
