Rubbing won't hurt if that's indeed what it is. Unless it's constant tire on fender contact. If that's the case, you must have either installed them incorrectly or severely threw your alignment out of spec. On stock wheels, you should still have some wheel gap.

I think I figured it out. 6 hour drive with lots of rubbing. Not constant but no tire rubbing makes. I think plastic loose and that what I keep hearing cause its only at 65+ MPH or/and bumps or turning drive er tire inward on a turn. Hopefully thy it NZ simple fix

I had the same thing, On S-Techs. Mine were to tight, you absolutely need a torque wrench and go to exact manufacturer specifications. It can cause a lot of stress to the rest of the suspension system if it's not correct.
