I've noticed the left rear tire rubbing the fender on occasion.
The right has a little more than 1/2 inch of room. The left has less than 1/4 inch. Is this difference normal? Or an indication of a problem I should be looking into. 195x50 tires. No spacers. The car seems to sit level. Wheels are cambered and toed the same. |
