I've got Enkei RS5's with 215's and had the SAME exact problem, on the REAR passenger side. And it happens when I go over bumps, corner, etc. with more than one person in the car. I guess the offset is off, which pisses me off since Discount Tire sold them and said they would fit. It rubs right at the sharp part in the rear quarter panel, so I went at it with a hammer, because the rubbing became bad enough to start digging into the sidewalls of my tires. It helped a lot, but the problem is still there when my fat ass friends vote on taking my car. Of course, my suspension is lowered with Eibach's and I purchased Koni's to also cure the problem. The CHEAPTEST SOLUTION WHICH I NEED TO DO: roll the fenders and rear quarter panels and find a reputable shop to do it. I've been looking in Houston for a competent Body SHOP (and shop for that matter) that works on domestics, but haven't had much luck. . .all the shops are for 4x4'ers or import cars. . .
