Take off the wheel and look on the inside of the wheel wells...you'll be able to see where the tire has been rubbing, hit those spots with a hammer.

Is your car lowered? Rolling the fender lips is always a good idea but be careful not to crack the paint. If you are lowered, an adjustable panhard bar will help.

It snot the inner well... its the outer lip, you can tell by lookin at the tire.. LOL.. not lowered.... and thanks for the advice... I'll start by rolling the fenders, and see what i get.

yea, my brother and dad had to roll the fenders on their '69s because they were rubbing bad. since then there has never been a rub.
