Where are you rubbing? need more info ...

I blame it on having tires too wide.
you should be running 285/45/22.
Rule of thumb up ten down ten.

Start at 275/55/20
stock 20 in. Size.
+10/-10
285/45/22
295/35/24
305/25 or 30/26
otherwise you mess up your speedo readings

try 315/30/24's they rub turning both ways. now all i rub on is that damn little bump on the drivers side of the firewall rubbed everything else off, and according to GPS im only off 2mph on the speedo

I'm rubbing when I turn the wheel to the left It only rubbs on the driver side

theres a couple of places on the drivers side you could be rubbing on when turning left. one could be the lower part of the wheel housing cover that covers the windshield washer bottle, the other could be the same little bumps on the firewall that i rub or also the far inside of the wheel housing liner behind the tire near the firewall. best way to tell is to take a flashlight and look for marks indicating where you may be rubbing. you may have to trim, so as to not rub. as in my case i have to live with it or run a more narrow footprint of a tire.

I'm running 305/45/22 on my NBS. It only rubs at full steering lock. It's not bad enough to worry about. Nor does it tear up tires. I wanted the biggest tire I could fit cause of ride and look. If you are worried about them rubbing should have bought 285s like stated above. IMO just leave them for the wide stance! If your speedo is off buy a cheap programmer or get a blackbear tune!
