Default Question: Tire rub 97-0156

My 97 Saleen. I have a left front tire rubbing on the fender liner in the area of the bump where the washer bottle lives in a right turn such as when parking. Car has OE size tires 245/40/18's. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. Are S351 wore through both fender liners before 9,000 miles.

it shouldnt touch the liner at all at any point. check all the plastic push pins that hold it in.

Thanks for the replies. I actually discovered a "Duh" moment. I found the tires were actually NOT the 245/40/18's they were supposed to be. Apparently the guy that did the order fat fingered the 40 part and made it a 45. Will get replaced this week. I never bothered to check. Been doing business with Discount for years. Also found the left front shock is bad. Hopefully correcting these 2 conditions will fix it.
