Default Scrubbing with just 19"?

So I recently put on my 19x8.5 +35 w/ 225/35/19 up front and I seem to be scrubbing when taking sharp left turns even at stock ride height. Forgestar told me that people normally remove some screw to avoid this? Does anyone know what he was talking about?

find out where you are "scrubbing" first.

given your wheel/tire specs, my guess is that there are parts of the fender lining that is causing the "scrubbing" noise.

dismount the tire and inspect the fender lining to see where it is "scrubbing".

makes me think of that TLC song...

take the wheel off and look for evidence of rubbing(i'm assuming this is what you mean but assumption is the mother of all F*$@ ups) and this will narrow down where you problem is.

Looks like it's "rubbing" on the inside of the fender lining closest to the door. So towards the back of the car. This only happens when I turn the wheel quite aggressively to get into a parking spot or something.

that very common for everyone with aftermarket wheels, but it easy fix, but heat that plastic area and push it in, and problem solve
