has anyone had this problem on the off side front only????????

since ive had my car it seems to be just the drivers side the tyre touches the bumper/splitter and arch

ive checked suspension it isnt any lower on that side to the passenger side and it aint just when driver in car only either

could it just be the damper???

My saph does it

And the lad I bought my wheels off said the damage to the tyre was from his 3dr catching on the front drive side

yes mate. My Wheels pulled the arch off the drivers side. And it used to ALWAYS rub that side. Must be offset at the front or something.
