having a problem with new tires

[bumble_bee_srt-4]

so i decided to go with the Yokohama S-drives from my previous sumitomos, the onld tires were 205/50/17 now they are 215/50/17...when i turn to the left, the front passenger tire is rubbing against what i believe is to be the top of the fender, my car is lowered on Tein springs with stock struts, previous owner made this drop. how can i fix this, im not sure on how far the drop is from stock height, but the car isnt slammed... i was thinking about taking a dremel and bringing down the fender a bit on top for more clearance. should i do this or is there a better way/alternative...

make certain where its rubbing you may have to roll the fenders

looks like its just rubbing the top of the fender, like its burned through the plastic cover and looks like its hitting the fender up top not on the side

could be the strut tower perch... if thats the case use it as an excuse to get coilovers lol

lol actually the strut perch is is not rubbing, no signs of it rubbing at all. just loss of plastic cover over the tire, anyone else have this problem? im running the 215/50/17 on the stockers..

[bumble_bee_srt-4]

has anyone ever cut the center portion of the fender directly above the tires. its a metal thin piece that sticks out pointing down, ill take some pics tomorrow

[lyncoo]

pics would help

i also have 215/50/17 on stock rims and im lowered on eibach pro kit/stock struts and it rubs only on the front passenger side but i rolled the fender and it went away unless i got 4 people in the car and hit a big bump
