Default Help!

Well I got my 17x11 TT2's about a month ago and I experienced something for the first time the other night...if there is ANYBODY in the back of the car the passenger rear tire with rub the top of the fender well. It's fine any other time and it only happens under hard acceleration and it I hit a bump (which where I live is about everywhere...) Could anyone please help me with stopping this??? Thanks...

Is the rear end "centered"? The clearance is going to be tight with a big rear wheel/tire combo, so the rear axle NEEDS to be "dead nuts" centered.

I wouldn't eyeball it. Tape a piece of string with a bolt or something tied to the end of it to the center of the wheelwell. Then measure from the center or lip of the wheel to the sting.
