Wheel rubbing
Hi guys,
I am new to the RC family. Just bought a used 2016 RC350 F-sport awd, the previous owner changed the wheels, and when I make turns, the front wheels have rubbing noise. The size is 245/35/R20, as I noticed many people with this wheel upsize doesn't have any rubbing issues. I am wondering if anything wrong with my wheels, and what should I do? Thanks so much for any advice.
Here is the pic of the wheels.

I have a 2015 Rc350 Fsport awd - it does have a sharp turn ratio.
The stock tires michelin Turanza did some rubbing as well, very slight... although sometimes it was just the tires making noise on the pavement due to the angle of turn.
I now have Pirelli Cinturato same size and no noise or rubbing

I just lowered mine this weekend and have 20" wheels with no rubbing. The fronts are 20"x9" with +25mm offset on 255/30 tires. The rears are 20"x10.5" with +40mm offset on 285/30 tires.
It probably has something to do with your wheel width or offset.

The fronts are 20"x9" with +25mm offset on 255/30 tires. The rears are 20"x10.5" with +40mm offset on 285/30 tires. Height should only be issue if you hit a deep too fast. Tire amd wheel width would be more of a factor for rubbing while turning. Both my wheels amd tires are wider than yours and I don't have a problem. It could be the offset you have.

I thought the offsets were specific to the wheel manufacturer. It could I suppose. Unless you are absolutely in love with the wheels that came with your car I would buy new ones and sell the ones you have. Any of the vendors here that sell wheels can tell you the appropriate offset for the wheels they carry. Rubbing is going to lead to excessive tire wear which means you will be buying expensive tires more often.
