I posted this in the problems forum but all i got was people crackin jokes and no real answers.
I recently got a 98 SVT, i love the car but if i have even one person in the back seat my wheels rub in my wheelswells real bad, bad enough to leave gashes in my tires. the tires are the right size and so are the rims. I took it back and they replaced the struts but it still does it. I think its the springs but the place i got it from insists the springs are fine... ANY ideas? PLease guys i need help here, i think the place i got the car from is trying to pull one over on me.

What size are your tires?

The later SVT's had modified fender liners installed to fit the 215/50's (they fit 225/50's as well)
(The earlier models have had some known rubbing problems on the liners)
