As I was backing out of a parking lot at an angle I felt and heard a grinding noise from the front. It seems when I'm backing out slowly it's fine but with my wheel turned almost all the way and then backing out alittle faster the suspension or upper control arm seems to be rubbing the tires. I have stock 18' rims and I know they shouldn't be doing that. Can anyone help?

You shouldn't be rubbing. Is your car lowered a lot?

If you set the car in valet mode to get it a bit higher and take a flashlight, can you see any rub marks inside the wheel well?

And for the matter, if you put it in valet mode and pull out at the same angle, does it still make the rubbing sound?

+1...should not rub at all.

It shouldn't rub, no matter how low.

Make sure they rims and tires are really oem.

Also, best thing is to take the wheel off and look inside (wheel and car) for wear.

I'll bet $5 that it is the top of the wheel hitting the top of the wheel well. My guess is you either have wide tires OR a more agressive offset.

Thanks for all the info guys but my car is all stock. 350 your right I should put it on the tow mode and see if there's any marks on my tire. Could it be the sudden cold weather here also? It droped to like 10 degrees that day.

No way. The car should NOT rub in OEM setup. NEVER.

Check your tire sizes and also look at the inside of the wheels when you check them for part number, size, and offset. I still think you have too aggressive an offset on the front. I bet it is about et30.
