tires rubbing
got a problem here, while making a right turn, at times my rear driver's side tire will rub? don't really know what could be causing the problem. tires size is 205/50/15 and all i have got are tein s-tech lowering springs. someone got any advice for me? thanks.
It could be from the lowering springs. It could be because the tread width and/or outer diameter of your tires is more than stock. And it could be because the fender well liner is coming loose - have you tried visually checking your wheel wells?
Oh, and one more thing... Care to share with us what kind of car you're driving...?

oh sorry, it is a em1. yeah i have looked, and it looks like the outer part of the tire rubs the fender. you can see both on the tire and fender where it has been rubbing. i'm thinking maybe the tired is too wide, but would like a little more help. thanks.
do you already have a camber for all 4 corners? if so bring in your camber angle slightly on an alignment rack in order to clear. if the adjustment will cause to much negative camber for the rear then i suggest installing spc lca's. they are shorter and will allow for decent street camber and still clear the fender.
205/50/15 is not to wide for an em1 unless your wheels have completely the wrong offset which i doubt. I would recomend taking to a reputable shop and get it on an alignemnt rack. Bring in the camber in order to clear the fender. You can go to -1.5 in the rear with no problem but on the alignment rack they will be able to adjust your toe accordingly. If it's not enough room to clear then pick up some SPC rear lower control arms and have a shop bring in camber more after those are installed.
