2011 rubbing in rear...only passenger side
Been running 265/40 17 on 17x9 dpt wheels on my 2011. I am having issues with only the passenger side rubbing over large bumps.
Visually it looks like the passenger side has a touch less camber. Anyone have issues with only one side?

Rears are tough since they have no camber adjustment capabilities from the factory, buying lower control arms is expensive... Have your car put on an alignment rack to see if it is actually off.
The fenders are rolled I'm hoping? Unless this is a front passenger fitment problem |

On my 2011 when I had it realigned when I got my coilovers installed the stock alignment was terrible. There was some toe in the rear on the passenger side and camber on the driver side. I would take it to a reputable performance shop and get a track alignment and see if that helps before you start rolling fenders or looking into coilovers.

Running 205/50R17 (stock size) Fierce Instinct VR on 2010 OBS. The rear passenger tire rubs on the inner fender-well plastic liner when heavily loaded down or when making hard left turns... even after a good alignment from reputable shop. I do not have any issues with the rear driver's-side tire. I should mention that I smacked a decent sized rock on the rear passenger wishbone, but that was before the alignment.
My point... you are not alone. See if you can figure out where it is rubbing. If it is just the fender-well liner as in my case, check to be sure you fender-well liner is properly secured and work a little zip-tie magic if you need to. As long as your alignment is on and you don't have any unusual tire-wear, you should be fine. |

Have not took it to get an alignment... maybe I will have it checked.
It is rubbing on the inner edge of the fender. Actually cutting up the tire just a pit as well. My next step will be taking off the rear shock and jacking up the suspension untill the tire hits. Maybe that will show me something. Just odd its only 1 side. |

Ooo.. that doesn't sound good. That's a good idea for troubleshooting by jacking up the suspension. I hope it gives you some answers. If you don't see anything obvious, hopefully the alignment will give you better results. Good luck!
