Default Got my iForged Wheels on..

I finally got my iForged Wheels on and took it for a spin about 20miles down the road and came back and on the driver side rear tire there was a little tiny mark that looks where the tire was hitting in front of the tire but behind it. The tire has no mark on it, me and my dad popped the trunk and started bouncing it to see how close it comes and it still has atleast an inch.... I never hit any bumps or anything. Would this mark have been there before?

BTW I am running a 18x10 and 295s in the rear.

Where is the mark? In the fenderwell? If so, you probably just need to do the BFH mod!

is it lowered?
do you have an adjustable panhard bar on it?
also, what backspacing do the wheels have?

No I'm not lowered, don't have an adjustable panhard bar. The lip is 2.5 so the backspacing is 7.5 if thats what you mean.

i had 20x10 rear Iforged wheels w/ 285/30ZR20 on my Z with only 7 3/8's backspacing and i was getting the same rubbing on the forward backside of the wheel. I had to do the BFH mod a little myself.
you also might wanna invest in a adjustable (if lowering is in your future) or a non adjustable panhard bar. the stock camaro bars have mushy rubber bushings that allow for too much side to side axle movement, an aftermarket one with poly bushings will improve that dramatically.

Yes, forgot to mention that my wheel lips are rolled.

Other than that I have no clearance problems at all, even with passengers in the rear seat.
