Default Rubbing?!?!

I am experiencing some rubbing on my left rear wheel. It looks like something is rubbing on the tire from the inside. Any idea what it can be? wheel specs are 18x11+7 stretched on 235/40/18.

The inside of my tire was pretty chewed up all around, so I went and bought a new one. HELP IF ANYONE KNOWS?!?!?!?/

havent had alignment, theres a fat line going around the tire, its pretty even all around. Im guessing whatever it is, it chewed it up pretty bad.

well it wont be plastic liners, since its the rear. Have you done anything new to your suspension setup? Does anything look bent or loose?

probably the control arm or what ever the rear on is called. nothing a little spacer couldnt take care off (if its an ongoing thing) as said above, alignment will probably take care of it. You hit a pot hole lately?
