Could really use your help on this guys. 2007 Honda Accord, just hit 100k. Everything has been great for the last 4 years until a few months ago, my right rear wheel hits the fender on medium to heavy bumps. 19" wheels, not lowered, nothing else done. I initially thought it was the springs, after replacing them, found out I was wrong. Took the car in for an alignment, didn't fix it, weren't any help in figuring out why the wheel hits (love the effort these days from businesses). I noticed that the wheels on the right stick out further than the left (see pics), they are aligned fine, just moved over to the right, all of them.. I'm wondering if something is bent and what it could be?


Thanks guys..

did you get the right size offset when you bought the wheels?
what size is the width?
19" rims? that might be a bit too big for the accord.

oh, and the tires might be to tall for the rim. i.e. your tires are ballooning and the side walls are rubbing. you probably need to run a lower profile tire for that size rim.

I see what you mean about the rears. I have always noticed that most cars I have owned do not have the exact came tire clearance on both sides, but if it once did, then something changed, well, that is another issue. Only thing to do is to get under the car and see what you can find.

Are the wheels 2 different widths?

OP isn't coming back, most likely. Probably because he remembered he bought 2 different sized wheels.
