Rubbing with 225s??

[HokieDSM]

I've just taken off the front wheels after I had some autocross action earlier this month and I'm noticing evidence of rubbing on both sides on the front. The funny part is both tires seem okay...

On the passenger side, there's what looks like melted rubber on the strut housing. On the driver's side - there's actually a hole burnt into the front splash panel where the tire's impacted on it.

This is with Falken Azenis 225/45/17 tires, running on my AGX/ProKit combo. I had problems before with rubbing on the outside, touching the fender and scraping up the tires - now it looks like I'm rubbing on the inside - how do I get this to stop! I got an alignment and paid $150 to get it to stop before... I'm tired of this.

That's strange. How wide are your wheels? Mine are 17x7.5 on Falken GR-Beta FK451's and they don't rub at all. Provided, they're pretty skinny for 225's ... I was considering replacing them with Azenis Sports.

How much is your car lowered? Have you tried increasing the compression/bound setting on your shocks? (To stiffen, or perhaps slow the bottoming-out of the shock.) What is the offset of your wheels? Are you tried running any spacers? Do you know how much negative camber you have?

All the info is in my profile. I'm running Rota Subzeros 17x7.5" +48mm offset, with +5mm H&R Spacers so the effective offset is +43mm. My new alignment settings are -3* on the passenger side, and -2* on the drivers' side. The guy who did my alignment claimed his 30 years of experience was about as close as he could get it - personally I think I was had for
$115.

My one concern is my front shocks - I'm using AGXs, but the adjusters won't adjust - so they're stuck on the softest setting - which is really annoying... But on Prokits, so only a 1" drop, I figure it shouldn't have the effect its' having - but I'm having a hard time coming up with other reasons...
