Re: What could have don't this?
Tires are the same and the offset in the front is stock, so the tire contact area is in the same spot... nice try apkano... besides, I'm pretty sure juan vega still has the stock rims and tires.
Andrew,
What is a 'friendly' backing up rub area? With the wheels at full lock... why would that only happen while backing up? While stopping from moving in reverse?
I personally think it's because my suspension has been to all extremes... can you say 'Track Time'?

since i got track fever i been driving my car a little harder than normal but the previous owner could have done it... so what i'm gonna do to verify is, i'm gonna put some tape and i'm gonna drive for a bit... i'm gonna try to make it rub lets see how that works.

Re: What could have don't this?
My SRT-6 is 100% stock and it does rub slightly when the wheels are locked one way or the other. I can hear it and feel in the floor board of the car when it does it. The first time it did it, I thought I had a flat tire and got out to check and nothing looked wrong. Then I remembered we have Tire Monitors. So the next time it did it, I looked a little further. The left wheel is worse than the right one, but that's do to it needing an alignment I would guess. I have noticeable rub spots, but it isn't down to metal.
Re: What could have don't this?
here is a picture of the 'friendly' rub on my lowered crossfire. it doesn't do any harm to the tire what so ever.

i have since taken the suspension off (2 weeks ago)... i used 3M undercoating and sprayed the entire metal wheel well area.
