Default Anyone else get a wheel well grind in reverse?

When I back up in reverse with my steering wheel turned all the way counter clockwise, I get a rub in my front passenger wheel well. Anyone else get this? or know of a fix? Nothing is hanging down or loose that I can tell in the wheel well.

look inside of your wheel well at the plastic fender liner. See if there rubbing marks if so its rubbing at those locations

I'll take another look but haven't seen anything so far. If I do see rubbing, what would be the next steps? It's worth mentioning that it's a some what light rubbing which maybe why I'm not seeing any marks.

If your on stock wheels and stock tire size you shouldnt be rubbing. If theres rubbing maybe the fender liner inside is torn. Find the tear or if screw is missing replace the screw or clip. That should solve it

Also when you hear the noise stop the car at that moment and see where the noise is coming from
