Only happens with a bit of weight in the trunk or 1+ rear passengers.
Leaves a line traveling the circumference of the tire on the outside wall near the top.
Doesnt constantly rub unless there's considerable amount of weight (weight in the trunk + 1 or more rear passengers.
Rubs every time a bump is hit with 1+ rear passengers and/or weight in the trunk.
Supposed be on car:
Front & Rear
3.809 inches = Sidewall Height
8.46 inches = Tire Width
Front:215/45R17
Rear: 215/45R17
_______________________________
On Car:
Front:
4.232 inches = Sidewall Height
8.46 inches = Tire Width
Rear:
4.429 inches = Sidewall Height
8.858 inches = Tire Width
Front: 215/50R17
Rear: 225/50R17

Difference:
Front Tires On The Car Are:
0.423 inches Taller
0.0 inches Wider
Than what are supposed to be on the car
Rear Tires On The Car Are:
0.62 inches Taller
0.398 inches Wider
Than what are supposed to be on the car
I had the car checked out, and was told nothing mechanically is wrong, the struts, the springs, the trailing arm, all check out to be in great shape which is why i listed the tire sizes.
My question to all of you, can that little bit of a difference in sizes cause the tire rubbing?
I also tried putting the front tires in the rear and the rear in the front, there was still rubbing in the same scenarios in the rear, seemed like less, but could've been wishful thinking i guess.
