Default 18-inch rims/tires

Just put on my Motegi MRM 18-inch rims with my 215/35/18 tires on today. After riding it for the day I notice an on and off sound whenever I make a sharp right turn, but when I make a sharp left turn I hear nothing at all. The sound seems like it is coming from the rear tires. Does anyone have this kind of problem with their 18-inch rims/tires setup??? Because I am trying to figure out what it is and hopefully my tires aren't rubbing because I don't see any marks on my tires or rims or the car.

its probaly coming from the front driver side tires this is what you do have a friend turn the steering wheel while you look at your wheel well you should be able to see what it is hitting I think its hitting the plastic thing on the wheel well on the right

I have the same wheels since June. I have never had that problem. Did you lower your car?

I am on the same set-up with an eibach drop and never heard any noises. mmm, did they balance the rims? Are you using spacer? Did they mess with the springs?
