you should cut the fenderliner so that it wont rub anymore, and maybe run some more camber?

The thing is i see that besides rubbing the inner fender liner its also slightly rubbing the actual metal inside lightly,will lowering it and adding camber help it? Or will it just make it unbearabley worse? Cuz it only rubs when i do a full lock in reverse for some reason =T

Yeah, it rubs the control arm under full lock.

Mine does the same thing. I am not too worried about it though. It barely rubs, and actually only one of my wheels rubs even though I rotate them side to side every couple weeks.

So I guess it's just a coincidence, or the offsets of one of my wheels is slightly different.

edit: Also I think the control arm rub thing varies by model year. I think the newer models rub worse than the pre-06's or something like that. Can't remember.

I had 17x9 +65 in the front, and it would rub like JeremyStone said. I was told a 17x9 + 63 would rub the same. I think 17X9 +54, +40, etc.. all wont rub.

that doesnt make any sense! high offset wheels wont rub at all. the lower the offset the more chances you will rub. it also depends on the size of the tire. I just bought CE's 17x9 63 all around 255/40 will fit fine. if you lower your car you have to camber the wheels to make em fit.

The actual wheel rubs the control arm under full lock with +63. Metal to metal contact. Do a search, it's been posted a thousand times.

Wheels can rub in more places than the fender lip.

yep that is correct, my post of adding camber was only if it was rubbing on the fender, otherwise yes you do need a spacer
