Which wheels are rubbing front or rear? Has your car ever been involved in a wreck? Panhard rod could possibly be broke in the rear. If this was the case the rear of the car would feal like it was sliding when you turn. Did you get your car aligned after the spring install? What springs are you running and what size C5's are you running.

Man I would take it to a alignment shop and get it checked out. Have them check out the panhard rod and make sure it isn't broke. Or you can do it yourself. That could be pretty dangerous.

I have 295 30 ZR 18's out back on my car, and I had to use a little hammer technology to the fender wells to get them to not rub under hard acceleration. Also, running wide tires on these cars tend to make them dart pretty bad on uneven or crowned roads. Let us know what you found.

Mine does too, especially here in Hawaii - roads are in extra crappy condition, and it feels like my car isnt alligned sometimes, but it is.
