Default whats wrong with my Teins/Drop

ok, so the car, was dropped yesterday on Tein htechs , i also had new rims put on, 18'

Today, i noticed something weird, when taaking RIGHT turns fast, Sometimes bumps, but mostly right turns, i hear this weird scrapping noise, but there seems to not be anything close enough to the tire, to make the noise? And it only happens when taking fast turns, and its deff coming from the right side? Whats going on? could it be the springs? i was told i would have no rubbing with these tires, normal 18's from Wheelmax.

Whats going onnnnnnnnnn??

I'm wondering if it's FAST turns or just a SHARP turn. Like if you drive slow, but crank the wheel all the way to the right... do you hear anything?

You shouldn't be having any rubbing with H techs...

I have the S-techs and I experience this sometimes, with 19x7.5 on 215/35/19 it can either be the wheel dipping into the wheel well and rubbing the plastic liner, or the wind deflector in front of the tire scraping the ground.

Ya... you could have a piece of the inner fender liner that's loose maybe.

I'm betting that you're rubbing. Probably just the fender liner. But what you should do is jack up the car and look at the fender liner for rub marks.

35offset, running 18x7.5 on a 18' rim

also, That plastic around the Wheel, on the opposite side that i hear it on, its falling off a good inch, looks like i bottomed out and ripped out some bolts under my OEM Ground effects.. could this be it? its hanging, but the wheel still has a good 2 inchs away from it?

wtf.

That's probably what you're hearing. Tighten that liner back up and see what happens.
