I have got a problem with rear wheels catching to the extent where if i give it some round a bend i can smell rubber.
The car has 17" ultralite alloys which are correct fit, but the tyres are Toyo 215/45/17 and i think they should be 215/40/17
i have had the car allinged at scoobyclinic. I have rear whiteline strutbrace on middle hole. the car isn't lowered either.

Any ideas please? i cant find where its catching.

 

Its probably the same as mine, if i have someone in the back and corner hard the tires rub on the rubber arch lip liner things..... I get trails of smoke too!! Also i'm normally left with a blueish mark on the tire from it....

 

Same here on my classic wagon with 17" wolfrace asia-tec wheels fitted although my motors been lowered on eibach springs, anyone know a quick, cheap fix for this?

 

i was thinking of rear camber bolts? Maybe a bit of camber in at the top will sort it.

 

From what I can gather it's the offset of my wheels, they are about 40 and scoobs are generally between 48-50ish, a set of standard scooby wheels should sort it when I get the pennies

Have a look here: Get Stuffed Already !! the Subaru Aggressive Wheel Fitment Thread - NASIOC

They talk about rolling flat/pulling the arches/fenders.

Might help.
