I couldn't find much searching so I was hoping you guys could help me out. My drivers side front wheel is nearly touching the strut housing and I can hear it make contact when cornering, the paint is scraped off of the inside wheel lip and a spot on the strut housing. The wheels are new 15x8 et20 trm c1s. There is about 1/4 inch of clearance between the inside lip and the strut on the passage side. There is no play in the wheel bearing grabbing the wheel at the top and bottom and shaking. Is my strut housing bent? I don't know what else could make the drivers side so much close to the strut?

I don't think so, the wear on the inside of the wheel is even all the way around. I'm gonna swap the wheel from the other side this weekend to double check.Last edited by Albatross; 07-26-2016, 07:44 PM.Comment

Yeah it's entirely possible. Go get an alignment check - many places offer them for free.
Camber isn't adjustable in stock trim, so if there's a difference you've found your problem.
