wheel touch inner back wing when turning

Hi guys,
I'm only on stock 17'' with 255/40 tire and when I do big turn, the edge of the tire get to touch the inner back of the wing and it's scrubbing the edge of my tire???

suspension setup is stock, just the camber bolt are adjust to the max.

Do you have this problem? What did you do.

Or it's my caster that is so retract that my tire is off center in the wing and when I turn, the edge it the back of the wing???

thanks!

I would recommend rolling the lip flatter with the rear quarter panel with a fender roller or by an experienced professional so that the tire will clear the fender.

I went with 10.5's on the front of mine and just covered my eyes and beat the lip flat with a 4 LB hammer. actually came out really well. Just make sure to spray some paint over any areas the paint comes off of.

alright, I will try the hammer before since it's only touch at a precise point and that I don't have roller fender...

But it's do that on stock wheel. I wonder if my caster angle is bad?? And if it's bad, i think that caster his non-adjustable?

That is correct, Caster is built into the car. Even most aftermarket adjusters dont mess with the caster. but its more likely your camber is off, or you have a bent A-arm.
