tire rubbing?

Alexshen1 · 10-20-2012, 02:46 PM

I installed some 25mm spacers all around, its been 1k miles and i think its rubbing. So what's been happening is that when i steer right, it would give me a squeaky sounding and the front driver side wheel would vibrate, worse at high speed, been worsening recently. I took the wheel off and one part of the inner tire wall was scratched up, about 3 inches long, just that one part though.

Am I correct on the diagnose? Or am I in more deep **** than just this

its rubbing very close by the rim so im thinking of something more serious than just rubbing.
