Tires rubbing fender liners on hard turns
I am driving on stock wheels, stock size tires, and stock suspension. When I turn hard left or right, my tires are rubbing on the fender liners on the very bottom inner edge of the fender liner. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I did just re-install them, but it's not like you can install them incorrectly (or so I thought), so I'm just curious why this is happening and what I need to do differently..

Most likely the front spring perches are worn out and sagging. Very common problem. Typically the driver's side is a good 1/2" to 3/4" lower than it should be.
Parts are about $60 each or so from Ray and it's not too bad of an install.
I would also double check that the fender liners aren't torn, sagging, etc. as well.

Never had any issue rubbing with OEM wheels, and I ran 245/45's and was lowered a little.
If they didn't rub before you removed and replaced them and you didn't change anything, then just double check your work. Maybe those lines are pushing them out or deforming them in some way....something.
