I have 18x7.5 (+42 offset) Alba Blaze rims with 225/35x18 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires that look great but I have one really big problem. After 5,000 miles my left front tire has self-destructed, and my right front is about to also. It seems the tires have been rubbing somewhere on the inside. When I had the tires and wheels mounted I checked and did not find any rubbing, inside or out except when the tires were turned near the limit. Well, I guess they rubbed more than I thought and destroyed my front tires. They seem to have worn by rubbing on the strut/spring seat.

What can I do about this? Is there something I can do to the front suspension to stop the rubbing or do I have to get rid of my beautiful wheels? Will other tires sizes make any difference? I'm desparate!

Thanks,
