Default Front wheel Rub!!

I replace my IS250 RWD 2008 with F-Sport 18"x8" (40mm) with 235/40/R18

Normal turn and u-turn was normally. But when I turn left or right with fast speed, they gonna little sound of rub on front wheel. So, they are normally or not?

For the rear wheel, I also run it by F-Sport 18"x8" (40mm) with 235/40/R18 and using Ibachi V2 15mm spacer.

The factory recommend 225/40/R18 but GOODYEAR RS-SPORT was available only 235/40/R18.


So, how can I solve this problem or just let it pass?

you need to see where is it rubbing...if is it pastic, you can use heat gun to heat up the pastic then push the pastic back, so when you turn it won't rub it. but i think you are ok..if you just leave it.

Yeah. But just change this new set of tires. So, at here to run a new tires will cost around $240 per wheel.

GOODYEAR RS-SPORT that I using was not available with 225/40/R18. So,just change the front wheel to other model and leave the rear wheel with GOODYEAR RS-SPORT 235/40/R18 will work? Or I should change all wheels to the same tire?

if its just the plastic that is rubbing.... get a heat gun, heat the part where is rubbing and heat it to where it gets soft, then quickly push it in and you are set
