rubbing when turning I just put a set of 15x10 pro stars on my car. The rear brake calipers have been shaved, but for some reason whenever i make a right hand turn I hear something rubbing. It sounds like it may be the brake caliper rubbing against the wheel, but why would it only do this around a right hand turn. Also it doesnt do it when going very slow around a turn, even a 90 degree one, but on the highway, even a little curve to the right and it will make a noise. Yall think the caliper needs to be shaved more, or thing something else is wrong?

275/60/15. It may be rubbing the inner fender well. I haven't taken the tire off. I literally just got them on today. Ill have to check for that tom. morning. But it really sounds more like a metal to metal type of noise which is why i was thinking the brake caliper. Also after making a hard right, i heard it rubbing for just a little more after the turn, then it went back to normal with no rubbing at all.

take the tire off and check. You'll be able to tell if its rubbing. and if it is. Just do a little BFH and you're good to go. Is your car lowered/ have an adj PHB?
