I have a set of Bridgestone 225/35-18 S-03's on 18x7.5 Alba Blaze rims on my SVT with stock suspension. I have only occassionally heard rubbing from the rear on big bumps and in front at close to full lock. I pulled the front wheels off last week to put on new set of EBC rotors (@#$%& cheap Ford rotors!) and found that the inside tread section on the tires have been worn away looking like they are rubbing. What could be causing this? If not 225/35 what size tires should I be running on these rims?

Thanks,


Martin

You could try 215/40R18 I suppose.

There are a few things that could cause your tire to wear on the inside more...but if you are sure there is rubbing just do a search and you'll find pics of where to hammer with the rubber.
