Default so is it my suspension or my wheels?

sup fella's.

iam rolling on 16x8 0 offset on 205/45/16's

and i was wondering how come i feel that iam rubbing more on my FRONT right side

when i turn???

could it be my shock is starting to wear out? or could it be my offset? my tires?

is there a way to reduce this?

i have all ready rolled all 4 fenders and i cant think of any solution.

thnx.

It's the wheels. As everyone here said, 0 offset wheels will rub.

I'm not sure what thread I read this in, but I think it has been mentioned that the suspension shifts very slightly to the passenger side when lowering the xA/xB1. I noticed this after installing 15mm rear shim spacers after being lowered for awhile. I now rub on the rear passenger side only when I have weight in the back and I go over a bump at a decent speed. Though your wheel offset is the source of your general clearance issues, this might explain why you notice more rubbing on the passenger side.
