I do have a theory though - I had my spring re-adjusted on my passenger side because it wasn't sitting right, and when it was re-installed it was sitting higher than before, which, if my logic is correct, caused my drivers side (In the picture) to sit lower than normal. This in turn lowered my clearance enough for my tire to rub into the bumper tab.... a few days later they are both even, so hopefully this is the end of that.

Note- this didn't happen on the passenger side.
damn sorry to see that no one understands how you feel better than i do... bending my forgestar wheel after 3 days lol

Default Nothing better than perfect paint
Just detailed (paint correction) and protected with 22ple VX1 Pro Glass Coating.

Paint is defect free and like a mirror.

PS2 = Pilot Sport 2
PSS = Pilot Super Sport

BOTH tires are the same brand! Just a different model... (PSS is the newer version)

That happened to me when I was on coils. I just let it rub it's way thru the liner and tire until it stopped haha also only on driver side (probably just driver weight causing it, although were both not enormous people by any means haha ). And me and Katie also just realized how vastly different tire sidewall shape is between tire brands... My v12's are much smaller and less square than her tires. She could go lower if it weren't for her sidewalls being so square

She may be dirty, but she's still sexy. Lexi and I went on a road trip to our country house in Dublin, Texas yesterday. I'm getting her repainted in December due to my car being keyed, and the previous owner did not care for the paint. I've ordered a shark fin antenna, and rear roof spoiler. Black pearl emblems are in the works too. I'd like to buy the IS F spoiler, but I'm considering a WALD. Suggestions?
