i had reently put on 19's on my car and been having some rubbing issues when backing out of my drive way. it usually rubs when i turn my wheel backing up. seems like its rubbing against the wall in front. do u guys know if its rubbing against anything else. it makes this nasty rubbing sound like something is falling apart. is this normal? am i breaking or ruining anything?

No, just keep driving it...whatever is rubbing will eventually break off.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

Tires do not withstand vehicle contact at all. Remove the wheel and examine for damage from the rubbing. Then, fix the problem.

What size tires are you using? What's the offset of the wheels?

Usually the front tires hit the wheelwell cover if you turn the wheel all the way and the rears hit the fenders and plastic/metal bracket that ties the bumper to the fender.

I ended up having to roll my rear fenders to take care odf the issue. As for the front...I never turn my wheel all the way!!!

Hope this helps a bit!!!

im running 19x8.5 all around no rubbing issues in the rear just in the front when the wheel is turn all the way around when backing up

That's normal. You have to remember that you're probably (and more than likely)using a different size (bigger diameter) tire in your 18"s.

Try backing out of your driveway in a different angle!

that is normal as you're probably running 235/35/19 like all of us up front which is significantly larger diameter than your stock 17".

as long as the screws used to attach that part of the fender well plastic stay in place you got nothing to worry about.
