the car is a 91 crx hf with a b16 swap, i don't think that matters. when the wheels are turned hard to the left and the car is moving there is a rubbing. the heat sheald was bent back to hopefully fix the problem but it didn't work(rubbing is still there).what do u guys think is the problem??

 

It's not your rims that are making your tires rub? what size rims/tires u have?

If it was his rims, it would rub on both sides, wouldn't it?
Maybe you're running too wide of a tire...

 

it is my brothers car. i think the wheels are 15's. i don't know about the tires. could it be a wheel bearing?

 

Well, check what series tires your brother is running. I think that might be the problem.

 

i'm just wondering, how would the tire make a rubbing like sound?

If your running too wide of a tire, you can rub.

sounds like a bad wheel bearing.....pop the lower balljoint and pull the axle from the hub then spin the hub. If it sounds like **** or you feel resistance, it's time for a new bearing.

look for heat damage around the axle splines

i dont get this "rubbing" like rubbing on your fender? you check your fenderwall make sure its not the tires rubbing up on it?

 

i don't think it is the tire rubbing it sounds more like 2 metal things rubbing. it's hard to say what the noise is like.

Ohhhh I just thought it was a simple problem like your tire rubbing the fender, lol.
Well, I'm thinking it's a wheel bearing like eda6 already said...
I would say your axle, but I don't think it'll make a rubbing sound, more like a clicking one.

 

i had a similar problem and it was my rack........... it vibrated to **** when i held the wheel all the way to the left and also all the way to the right....it sounded like metal grinding/ clunks......oh yeah it happened right after i did my swap for some reason
