Exclamation Warning rubbing issues

I brought my car over this morning to the auto shop because of squeeking and squealing sounds, after them looking around the car 20 minutes, they located that the problem is the front tires rub on the liner. When the wheels turn left or right, they rub on the inner fender liners. I am almost through the linnet on the right side,

I am running this set up.

You are running aftermarket wheels and suspension. People on stock wheels/susp won't have this problem or who are running with safe offsets and tire sizes.

I am running 225/30/20 on 20x9 Vossen CV5. I ordered the RS*R Down Springs which have about a 1" drop so I won't have any issues rubbing but since the S-Techs are a much lower drop, that could be why you're rubbing. You might have to run 225/30 in the front to prevent the front wheel from rubbing. Go to a local shop and have them test fit a smaller tire and see if it still rubs.

Sorry I corrected my tire size. I am running a 225/30 in the front. It rubs in the front and the rear of the wheels wells. I think the only way I can fix this is if I go with coil overs because then I can control the ride and the sag. The springs are tough to control, because once they sag, that's it.
